Our Service

​Our Service assists First Nations and Métis patients to navigate the health system.. We offer....

Coordination & Liaison

We provide links to health supports and help coordinate transportation, accommodation, meals, and other issues that arise during admitting and discharge.

Elders

We  provide Links to traditional supports such as ceremonies and guidance.

Facilitation

We can help navigate the health system to support patient and families to better understand their conditions, medical procedures and care needs.

Interpretation & Translation*

We can help explain the medical issues in Cree, Saulteaux and Dené so patients are better informed and are better able to  participate in the decision-making process.  We can offer this support through admission, medical procedures and recovery.(*depending on availability of translators).

Advocacy

We can help staff and clients better understand complex issues related to patient Care.  We promote culturally competent staff and services and can address issues when they occur.   We offer a Voice for those who may need assistance.
