MWHN

Our partners in community, social services and health care collaborate to use our collective knowledge to advocate for programs and policy changes that will improve the health status of Mount Waddington area residents, and reduce or eliminate health inequities for all people... As a network, our primary focus is in advocating for enhanced or modified programs and services, influencing public policy, and collaborating on grass-roots initiatives that will benefit all area residents. We focus on "up-stream" initiatives that help keep people from becoming sick in the first place, in good health, and out of acute care. We perform our work through a lens of cultural safety and humility, and are open to growth, conversations, and new learnings... Recognize that the Health Network exists within the Traditional Territory of the Kwakwaka'wakw Peoples. We strive to find new, better and culturally appropriate ways to collaborate, plan and work together that legitimize traditional knowledge..
