Health Department
The Health Department supports the physical, mental, emotional, and cultural well-being of T’eqt’aqtn’mux members through a wide range of programs and services.
We work closely with families, Elders, youth, health partners, and service providers to make sure everyone has access to quality care that is respectful, culturally grounded, and community-centered.
Our supports include patient travel, appointment coordination, chronic disease management, maternal and child health programs, mental wellness services, addiction and recovery resources, traditional healing opportunities, and health promotion activities throughout the year.
Whether on-reserve or off-reserve, our goal is to help members stay informed, supported, and connected on their health journey.
