Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health

The main purpose of the Centre is to create and deliver services that will prevent ill health, treat illness and provide support and aftercare. Services are offered in a culturally sensitive way that welcomes, accepts and respects all Indigenous people.

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.
