Background

​The People’s Health Care Act (2019) was enacted to consolidate various health agencies (LHINs, Cancer Care Ontario, and eHealth) into one agency. This legislation also sets out guidance for the creation of Ontario Health Teams (OHT’s) to be a single point of health care contact for patients. In response to these legislative changes, the London District Chiefs Council developed a First Nations Declaration on Health and endorsed the creation of the Health Policy to safeguard First Nation inherent rights during this crucial transformation.

Goal

The goal of the First Nation Health Declaration and Policy is to promote relationship building between health care providers and First Nations to collaboratively improve:​
  • Health outcomes for First Nation patients/ communities.
  • Access to health and traditional healing services.
  • Establish culturally safe care practices.
  • Building health service accountability and performance measures
