The First Nations-led Primary Care Initiative (FNPCI) aims to improve access to primary health-care services for First Nations Peoples across BC in a way that is culturally safe and closer to home. The FNPCI is part of the province’s primary care strategy, which is integrating team-based care in communities throughout B.C. and changing the way primary care is delivered with the creation of primary care networks in partnership with the Regional Health Authorities.
In order to meet the health and wellness needs of First Nations Peoples, it is very important that primary care is culturally safe and culturally informed where Indigenous ways of knowing and being are woven into services.
One of the main objectives of the FNPCI is to develop 15 new First Nations Primary Health Care Centres in rural and urban locations across the province.
The centres will provide access to culturally safe, quality primary health care services for First Nations people and their families. The aim is for clients to feel safe, welcomed, valued, respected and heard when they access care services at one of these centres.
About The Centre
The Fraser South First Nations Primary Care Centre (FS-FNPCC), based in the Fraser Salish Region will provide culturally safe, trauma-informed primary care services to First Nations peoples living in Langley, Abbotsford, Hope and the Fraser Canyon.
The FS-FNPCC will operate through a number of spoke sites to provide holistic care for First Nations people, weaving together western medicine and traditional wellness practices. Services are designed to provide wraparound, team-based primary care, mental health and traditional wellness services. The centre will provide safe spaces for First Nations people and their families seeking high-quality primary care services.
Working at FS-FNPCC is guided by the foundational Vision and Seven Directives of FNHA, emphasizing care, respect, and excellence in serving First Nations communities. The centre champions wellness and seizes the unique opportunity to drive transformative changes in First Nations health and wellness. It is an ideal place for those passionate about making a difference, who are open to cultural understanding, and ready to embrace challenges. As a young and evolving organization, FS-FNPCC offers rich opportunities for transformational learning and personal growth, fostering a sense of purpose that goes beyond professional duties. Here, the work you do impacts not only the lives of those served but also your own, all while collaborating closely with culturally rich First Nations communities in British Columbia.
