N’Mninoeyaa Aboriginal Health Access Centre

Head Office - North Shore Tribal Council

Cutler, Ontario

 

The program, developed in 1995, receives provincial funding through the Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy. The services delivered under this agreement is based on the outreach model to each of the seven (7) First Nations and the Indian Friendship Centre in Sault Ste. Marie.

The Aboriginal Health Access program mandate is to:

• Improve accessibility, comprehensiveness, coordination, continuity and accountability of primary health care programs and services.

• Respond to community identified health priorities with effective, culturally sensitive and accessible primary health care programs.

• Reflect the importance of disease prevention and health promotion in the planning and implementation of primary health care programs

• Increase client participation in their health care.

• The ensure client access to Traditional Healers/Elders for those who request such services and to other Traditional Healing/ Health activities.

This service is similar to provincially funded Community Health Centres who have a mandate to provide primary health care to those who face barriers to access. North Shore Tribal Council has focused on diagnosis and treatment of illness to compliment the existing health promotion, illness and injury prevention programs delivered and controlled by the First Nations.
