The NCCAH is part of the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health program supporting public health renewal in Canada. Our centre uses a coordinated, holistic and comprehensive approach to the inclusion of Aboriginal peoples in the public health system, guided by a respect for Indigenous knowledge and for the diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.
Our relationships have resulted in many partnerships on key health initiatives with federal, provincial and territorial governments, Aboriginal organizations, our sister National Collaborating Centres, research organizations, non-government organizations, and communities across the country.
We hope you will join us in our efforts to share knowledge and make a difference in the health and well-being of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada.
