The High River Maternity Clinic is committed to being anti-racist and anti-oppressive. We denounce prejudice, discrimination, and violence on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, or socioeconomic background.

In addition to our core values listed here, we are committed to gender inclusivity for our patients. We may use the terms, “mother” or “father” and “breastfeeding”; however, we recognize that not everyone identifies with these terms. If you have pronouns or family-based terms you identify with, please let us know and we will use these terms instead. We want every patient to feel welcome and comfortable.

On behalf of the High River Maternity program, in the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that our clinic and hospital reside on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta which include the Blackfoot Confederacy, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Îyârhe Nakoda people.  This land is also home to the Metis Nation of Alberta, Region 3.

The renovated and reinvented High River Maternity unit is now OPEN!

We are thrilled to announce that the newly renovated and reinvented maternity units in the High River Hospital are now OPEN!  This complete renovation, which was entirely community funded, includes:

  • Brand-new large delivery rooms designed to create a supportive and accommodating environment
  • Specialized labour and delivery tubs in each of the rooms for water labour and birth
  • Updated equipment to better monitor mother and baby before, during, and after delivery
  • Space for partners or a support person to stay overnight

High River Maternity provides care for moms in the Foothills area – from Calgary to Claresholm including High River, Okotoks, Nanton, and all the surrounding rural areas.
