TRANSFORM HF is once again offering On the Land, a cultural safety training program developed and delivered by Indigenous scholar Dr. Angela Mashford-Pringle in collaboration with Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers. The three-day immersive experience invites trainees, researchers, and clinicians into a transformative experience rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and being. For many past participants, their time spent on the land has profoundly impacted their research and practice. We spoke with three past participants to learn more about the experience.
Set in the communities of Moosonee and Moose Factory, “Strengthening our Hearts through a River of Possibilities,” highlights key themes from community members’ stories about managing their heart health.
It took Gloria Stoney five days to get medivaced from her home in Peawanuck to Toronto General Hospital this October when she started experiencing serious cardiac symptoms. She returned home at the end of November.
A new 5-year agreement with Weeneebayko Area Health Authority will support the cardiovascular needs of James and Hudson Bay communities with a focus on direct care and remote management, so that patients like Gloria can access high-quality care close to home.
