Indigenous communities will have greater access to culturally safe dental services in London and surrounding area because of a new partnership between the Southwest Aboriginal Health Access Centre (SOAHAC) and the Middlesex London Health Unit (MLHU).
The dental clinic at the public health unit’s 50 King Street location is now being shared by both organizations, starting on Tuesday.
“This is actually a sharing of power, this is asking our Indigenous partners to lead and tell us what they need, and us supporting exactly what their vision is,” said medical officer of health, Dr. Chris Mackie, during the announcement of the partnership on Monday.
