Urban and Away-From-Home Engagement Sessions: Vancouver Island

August 8, 2024

The First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) is continuing to host engagement sessions with the urban and away-from-home (UAH) First Nations population in BC, urban Indigenous organizations and health system partners across the province.

Our goal is to learn how we can improve communication pathways with the UAH First Nations community and better understand your health and wellness needs.​
