BC Office of Indigenous Health

​

The Office of Indigenous Health (the Office) aims to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples in B.C. The Office provides an Indigenous lens to strategic priorities, legislation, policy and program development in the Ministry of Health, as well as other ministries where appropriate.

The Office works collaboratively with the First Nations Health Authority, the regional health authorities, and the Provincial Health Services Authority to address the needs of Indigenous peoples during service planning, policy development and to promote culturally safe and appropriate service delivery. The Office also collaborates with key Indigenous partners and organizations such as Métis Nation BC and the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres.
