The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA), in partnership with SE Health, is proud to announce the development of a Public Health Nursing Policy and Procedure Manual, a foundational initiative designed to support culturally safe, community-driven public health services delivered by nurses working in First Nations communities across BC.
This project marks a significant milestone in FNHA’s broader journey to transform health and wellness for First Nations people. Central to this transformation is the nursing workforce, one of FNHA’s most vital arms in realizing its vision of “Healthy, Self-Determining and Vibrant BC First Nations Children, Families and Communities.”
Why This Work Matters
Nurses practicing in First Nations communities serve in health settings, delivering both primary care and public health services. Their work is highly regulated and deeply rooted in community relationships.
