The Northern Indigenous Health Alliance started in 2017 as a 5-year program funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada to reduce the behaviours of those at risk of contracting HIV, Hepatitis C, and other sexually transmitted Blood Borne Infections in northern Alberta. This is a new 5-year program funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada to help reduce behaviours of those at risk of contracting HIV, Hepatitis C, and other blood borne pathogens. This program works from a cultural attachment framework, and works to build relations within the community to encourage priority populations to know their status through regular screen processes.
We can connect Indigenous clients with local Elders and traditional medicines. Through Grand Prairie Friendship Centre, we also offer traditional teachings, and work to base our programs from an Indigenous world view.
