Become a Member of HSN’s Indigenous Health Advisory Council!

Health Sciences North (HSN) is seeking expressions of interest from across our Northeast region to become a member of an Indigenous Health Advisory Council (IHAC). The Indigenous Health Advisory Council provides guidance and advice to Health Sciences North on programs, services, and policies that impact First Nations, Inuit and Métis patients, families, and communities, with the goal of improving health outcomes and strengthening culturally safe care. Council members help ensure Indigenous voices and perspectives inform decision-making and support meaningful partnerships between Health Sciences North and Indigenous communities and organizations.
