Wabano Centre for
Aboriginal Health
The award-winning Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health is an urban health centre that provides quality,
holistic,
culturally relevant health services to Inuit, Métis and First Nation communities
of Ottawa.
The centre also engages
in clinical, social, economic and cultural initiatives that promote the health of all
Aboriginal people; promotes
community building through education and advocacy; and
serves as a centre of excellence
for urban Aboriginal health.
The centre envisions a world in which all Inuit, Métis and First Nation 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. And where the gifts
and wisdom of Inuit, Métis and First Nation
cultures are recognized as valuable, distinctive and beautiful.
Wabano Centre for Aboriginal Health emphasizes the importance of healthy living, nutrition, importance of
family and
being your true aboriginal self.
