Limited access to timely, affordable, and high-quality healthcare continues to widen the gap between healthcare providers and individuals with lived experiences.
So join us as we dive into discomfort, because sometimes, the most painful conversations are the ones that matter the most.

Collapsible text is perfect for longer content like paragraphs and descriptions. It’s a great way to give people more information while keeping your layout clean. Link your text to anything, including an external website or a different page. You can set your text box to expand and collapse when people click, so they can read more or less info.

A WEEKEND FULL OF PAIN EDUCATION
Penny Kowalchuk,
Person with Lived Experience of Pain
I love being able to reduce the suffering in people with lived experience. Additionally, I believe in the power of strong communities and Pain AB gathers passionate healthcare professionals in pain management.
Maureen Fowler

My 'why' is coming!
Suzanne Buchanan,
MN, NP with Blood Tribe Health Corp
I am involved with The Pain Society of Alberta so I can provide the patient experience. I have dealt with chronic pain for more than three (3) decades.
Dr Carlos Malpica-Vera
Family Physician
I am involved with The Pain Society of Alberta as part of my evolution in helping improve the lives of those in pain. It is a privilege to be part of such a special group of kind, smart, hard working people.
Amanda Sowiak,
More details incoming
Right out of grad school I worked in an interdisciplinary pain program and saw first hand both the suffering and the success people living with pain can experience. Over my career I have heard how challenging the population is and seen how often they can be written off by professionals. This made me want to work with people living with pain more not less! I got into this work to see people function and thrive, often by helping them reconnect to their purpose. Helping people living with pain find their 'why' IS my 'why'.
Jignesh Desai,
Pharmacist
As a nurse for over 30 years my passion is helping people. As the Pain Society of Alberta is pivotal in educating and supporting people living with pain, my involvement with PainAB allows me to fulfill my passion.
Trevor Sakatch
Kinesiologist, Alberta Health Services
As a chronic pain physician in Alberta, while I continue to advocate for my patients at the bedside, it is imperative that I continue to be a part of the education and management of pain for many others who continue to live with pain. The Pain Society of Alberta enables this outreach, and education amongst pain providers and peopl with lived experience.
Nicole Quinlan
Kinesiologist, Alberta Health Services
I am involved with the Pain Society of Alberta because chronic pain affects so many Canadians. Headache disorders, which are a special interest of mine, affect millions in Canada and are quite disabling for many. Migraine alone affects over 12% of the Canadian population.
Shana Wandler
Recreational Therapist, Alberta Health Services
Working with The Pain Society of Alberta gives me opportunities to work with some of the most vulnerable in our society. Additionally it creates excellent educational opportunties to share with allied health proffessionals.
