Indigenous Health

To lead the way to a healthier future, Southern Health-Santé Sud believes in optimal wellness, balance and connectedness for all people, responding to the holistic needs of Indigenous peoples by building partnerships, trust and by applying an equity lens throughout all facets of our health care services. Embracing diversity and inclusion, we strive to build a cultural capacity which is integrated throughout our programs and services. Together with communities, we are committed to working together towards building a culturally-appropriate and safe health care system for all diverse peoples and Indigenous communities in Southern Health-Santé Sud.

We are here to Listen, Help & Support You

Visiting a health centre can often be a very difficult and stressful time - especially if English is not your first language or if you need to navigate an unfamiliar health care system. The Indigenous Support Worker Program  can assist you and provide peace-of-mind, knowing that your needs are being cared for in a culturally appropriate and culturally safe manner. If you are First Nations, Métis or Inuit, please self-identify at the admitting/reception area so that we can support you in your health journey.

Southern Health-Santé Sud is committed to increasing the representation of Indigenous peoples within all levels of our workforce. Accordingly, Indigenous applicants are encouraged to join our team where you fill find opportunity within a rich range of health care careers.
