Indigenous Services

At Norfolk General Hospital, we want to create culturally safe and respectful spaces for our patients and families who identify as First Nations, Inuit, Métis and urban Indigenous. This page contains information about how we support Indigenous patients and families in our hospital.

Indigenous Patient Navigator Program

We are proud to offer Indigenous Patient Navigator services to support Indigenous patients and their families through their healthcare journey. In partnership with De dwa da dehs nye>s, Indigenous Patient Navigators support our patients by:

• Providing support at clinic visits.
• Helping patients and families communicate with members of their healthcare team, like doctors and nurses.
• Helping patients connect with traditional Indigenous healers.
• Arranging language and cultural translation services.

The Indigenous Patient Navigator supports individuals in their plan of care as well as connecting to resources during their healing journey. To connect with the Indigenous Patient Navigator, please contact: Richelle Miller: Phone: (519) 445 0077 | Email: richellemiller@sixnations.ca
