Our OHT partners are committed to reduce current health disparities experienced by Indigenous peoples in our community. We will help redesign care to improve services for - and meet the diverse needs of - the Indigenous population. Our partners demonstrate their respect for the role of Indigenous peoples in the planning, design, delivery and evaluation of services for the community.
