A first of its kind health-care clinic in Montreal has opened its doors. Native Montreal’s Family Clinic aims to provide culturally safe services to the Indigenous community.Gracia Kasoki Katahwa, Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough mayor and mayor responsible for the reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, used to be a nurse.
The clinic trains outside doctors and nurses to better service Indigenous people. This helps rebuild trust between the healthcare system and the community.“After all the decades of negligence that has happened to our people, the racism,” says Native Montreal executive director Philippe Meilleur, “well of course a lot of us, do not want to access this service, we are afraid.”It also subverts Quebec’s health-care system by allowing people from all over the city to receive services at the clinic.
Health Minister Christian Dubé says “this navigator principle is a good example of my vision of customer service, or patient service, that we need to have all across our health system.” Native Montreal is proud of its achievement. “Just like the Haudenosaunee people showed how to do democracy in the right way, well, now we’re showing how to do health care in the right way,” says Meilleur.EU probe of Ozempic, Wegovy ends with no evidence of link to suicide
