Aug 13, 2025
The family of First Nation’s woman Corina Morin say her rights, traditions, and beliefs were violated when hospital staff in Saskatoon cut her hair without her consent.
Morin, 54, was admitted to the ICU at the Royal University Hospital on June 10. She died in July while in hospice care.
According to the First Nation’s Health Ombudsperson’s Office, hospital records confirmed Morin wasn’t able to provide informed consent, and the decision to cut her hair was made by a registered nurse without a formal assessment.
