Purpose of the Health Centre

 

De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Health Centre was created to assist Aboriginal people to access Culturally Appropriate health programs and services.  The Health Centre focuses on preventive and primary wholistic health care, which applies to all parts of the person -- spiritual, mental, emotional and physical.  Clients choose to see a doctor and/or traditional healer.  The Health Centre will serve all Aboriginal people and families regardless of residency or status and will offer assistance to outside service organizations to provide care in a culturally sensitive way.

 

Any suggestions for programs or services call Laura at the Health Centre (905) 544-4320 or on Tuesday, in Brantford  (519) 752-4340.
