Alberta Health Services (AHS) is committed to providing culturally safe, accessible healthcare to all our patients. This includes supporting the practice of Indigenous spiritual ceremonies inside all of our sites.
We are called upon in the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action to incorporate traditional healing practices for Indigenous patients and families. This is just one more way that AHS is striving to provide culturally safe care for Indigenous patients and families.
Dedicated AHS Indigenous Wellness Core staff, including Indigenous Hospital Liaisons and Traditional Wellness Coordinators, are available throughout the province to assist, although not required in facilitating ceremonies. They take into consideration culturally appropriate health services for all First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples.
