New Canada Research Chair at Laurentian University to focus on Indigenous health – CBC
Dec 2, 2016
Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ont., has appointed its first Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Health.
Jennifer Walker will take on that role. She is a researcher who will study and collect information on the health of First Nations and Metis communities.
Walker says it is important for people within Indigenous communities to study the data in a culturally appropriate way.
She says the aim is to steer away from negatively profiling First Nations communities, and to use the information to help improve health care in the future.
