At Interior Health, one of the most significant priorities is supporting Aboriginal Peoples.
For generations, many Aboriginal People have celebrated their culture and heritage on or around June 21.
As we humbly work to strengthen our relationships with Aboriginal partners, we recognize and appreciate the heritage and diverse cultures of Aboriginal communities and people we serve, and we are striving to embed their wisdom, knowledge, and culture into how we deliver services to provide culturally safe care. It is a critical aspect of our vision of health and well-being for all.
Every day, including June 21, we celebrate the Aboriginal People in our communities, and we are passionately committed to our journey of strengthening relationships, building trust and confidence with all Aboriginal partners.
