THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre says it has been working to implement the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, specifically those that focus on the health sector.
"TBRHSC is working collaboratively with Indigenous organizations, communities and stakeholder groups to develop strategies to promote a culturally safe environment. TBRHSC continues to address racism and other inequities," the executive summary states. Call to Action # 22 also asked the Canadian health-care system to recognize the value of Aboriginal healing practices, and to use them in the treatment of Aboriginal patients when requested.
In addition, TBRHSC has partnered with Dr. Janet Smylie and Well Living House "to address Indigenous racism and discrimination that lead to inequities throughout our hospital."
