Niagara Health has announced the launch of its first Indigenous Health Services Plan: “Journey to Reconciliation”.
Developed in collaboration with Indigenous leaders and community members by Niagara Health’s Indigenous Health Services and Reconciliation team, the Plan provides a clear focus to improve hospital services and experiences for Indigenous patients and their families.
The Plan includes initiatives designed to improve access to healthcare services, enhance cultural safety and promote traditional healing practices within the hospital. It also outlines strategies for recruiting and retaining Indigenous healthcare professionals.
