A physician’s journey of building relationships in First Nations Primary Care – FNHA
Jul 22, 2024
While providing care in the First Nations communities around Lillooet, BC, Dr. Humber learned that her patients would be better served if she implemented a different approach to health care in these underserved communities. She began by listening and cultivating relationships with community members.
When Dr. Nancy Humber first came to the community of Lillooet in 1997, her practice was focused on maternity, surgery and providing other care in hospital. Trained in family medicine and specializing in surgery, Dr. Humber was the only doctor at the time performing surgeries at the Lillooet District Hospital and as well, much of her work was dedicated to deliveries.
