Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health

More than a health centre, Wabano is a proud Indigenous organization dedicated to helping Indigenous people live the good life.

We envision a world in which all First Nations, Inuit and Métis people have achieved full and equitable access to the conditions of health including: pride in ancestry, cultural reclamation, peace, shelter, education, food, income, a stable environment, resources, and social justice.

We envision a world where the gifts and wisdom of First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures are recognized as valuable, distinctive and beautiful.

We believe that good medicine is characterized by:

• Reclaiming culture as a pillar of healing;
• The teaching and healing practices of Indigenous people;
• A contemporary model of quality primary healthcare;
• Focusing on the individual in the context of their family and the community;
• Believing in the wisdom of Elders, traditional healers, and teachers; and,
• Believing in the importance of traditional ceremony and celebration.
