Indigenous Primary Care
The Place of Good Medicine
The mandate of the Indigenous Interprofessional Primary Care Team (IIPCT) is to promote wholistic health, prevent ill health, treat illness and support our Indigenous communities and their families on their journeys through these realities.
They do this by providing services that equally draw from both Indigenous and mainstream ways of knowing and being, all done in active cooperation with our partners.
The Indigenous Interprofessional Primary Care Team offers many services:
- Cultural Services, including traditional healing and medicines, cultural learning and spiritual support
- Primary Medical Care, from a team of two family physicians, a nurse practitioner, register nurse and a registered practical nurse
- Mental Health and Addictions, with support for adults and pre/post natal needs
- Health Support Services, includes care coordination across all systems and client experiences
