Traditional Program

The Traditional Healing, Medicine, Food and Supports Program (THMFS) is a model for integrated First Nations hospital-based services. This program offers support and choice in healing approaches to our patients and clients. It is built on a strong foundation of culturally-responsive values and practices.

The five core components of the program include:

• Odabiidamagewin (Governance and Leadership)
• Wiichi’iwewin (Patient and Client Supports)
• Andaaw’iwewin egkwa Mashkiki (Traditional Healing and Traditional Medicines)
• Miichim (Traditional Foods)
• Bimaadiziwin (Cultural Awareness Training)

Our care is based on recognizing the relationship of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of all people.
