CALS stands for which health service?

• A. Calgary Administrative Laboratory Service
• B. Calgary Ambulatory Lymph-edema Service
• C. Calgary and Alberta Lymphedema Support
• D. Canadian Association for Lymph Diseases

Answer: (B)

CALS is the Calgary Ambulatory Lymph-edema Service. The term “ambulatory” signals outpatient care, and “lymph-edema” identifies the condition treated. This naming aligns with how Alberta Health Services designates specialized outpatient programs for conditions like lymphedema, so the acronym matches the actual service offered in Calgary.

The other options don’t reflect a Calgary health service focused on lymph-edema: one is about a laboratory administration unit, another suggests a broader Calgary/Alberta support group, and the last is a national organization rather than a Calgary outpatient program. This is why the Calgary Ambulatory Lymph-edema Service is the correct fit.
