: Since 2016, the Stollery’s Awasisak Indigenous Health Program has been working with Elders, staff and physicians, as well as communities throughout central and northern Alberta to help enhance a culturally-safe and patient-family centred perspective on service delivery at the hospital. The goal is to build bridges for Indigenous children’s health by improving health status, health outcomes and health-related services for infants, children and youth who require neonatal and pediatric care, or outreach care. The program also provides cultural awareness sessions for staff, residents and physicians at the Stollery, cultural healing for patients and families through smudging ceremonies, as well as drumming ceremonies held at the hospital four times a year.
