Who We Are?

Our Vision

We envision vibrant communities where: 

  1. All Indigenous people receive friendly, warm care “where they are”:
  • Geographically-care that sees no boundaries and is status blind; 
  • Emotionally- Care that is provided in a safe place defined by the client; 
  • Culturally- Care that respects wherever clients are in their spiritual journey and cultural identity; 
  • Physically- Care that treats all medical needs and addresses complexity of care. 
  1. Generosity of time and skills is shared freely.
  2. Traditional ways of knowing and being are valued and celebrated.

Our Mission

To accomplish this vision, the regional team: 

  • Provides excellence in wholistic primary healthcare;
  • Equally values traditional healing and clinicalsupports;
  • Connects Indigenous people to regional services and professionals whom they cantrust;
  • Engages with all Indigenous communities across the region; and
  • Shapes care and services based on the needs determined by the people/communities in our regions.

Our Core Values
