New Indigenous System Navigation Service to Support Indigenous Patients and Families in Hospital – Wawa-news.com
Maamwesying North Shore Community Health Services (MNSCHS) Northern Clinic marked the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation with the announcement of a new Indigenous System Navigator (ISN) service. This initiative will provide dedicated support to Indigenous patients and families as they navigate the health care system when admitted to hospital.
The Navigator role will be embedded in Services de santé Chapleau Health Services and Lady Dunn Health Centre, in partnership with both hospitals. Together, they will support members and residents of First Nations communities in the Chapleau and Wawa areas (listed below). The goal is to ensure culturally safe, respectful, and supportive care experiences for Indigenous Peoples.
