At the Central Interior Native Health Society we recognize the inequity in health status between Aboriginal Peoples and mainstream society. We serve to restore balance through a holistic approach to health care that promotes physical, spiritual, emotional and cultural harmony within all Aboriginal Peoples who reside in North Central British Columbia.
Primary Health Care means inclusive, accessible and safe health care. It also means more than just seeing a doctor. Services are offered by an interdisciplinary team which includes nurses, social workers, counsellors and support staff. The team is ready to support you to not only feel better physically but feel better in every way. We want to build on the strengths of Aboriginal Peoples.
Central Interior Native Health Society exists to serve. The core values of compassion, professionalism, honesty and mutual respect guide our actions as we work together to provide the best possible health care services to our clients.
CINHS has been consulting with Northern Health, BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), BC Centre on Substance Use (BCCSU) and Work Safe BC (WSBC) in seeking direction and guidance in the development of a CINHS COVID-19 safety plan. In parallel, we have also been following BC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry.
Our goal is to provide health care and reduce the transmission of COVID-19 by adjusting our delivery model, to ensure the well-being of clients and team members.
The key points in our adjusted delivery model are as follows:
