Northern Health Volunteers


We respectfully acknowledge Northern Health is collectively located on the traditional and ancestral territories of the 55 First Nations in Northern B.C. where we live, learn, collaborate and work together.  

Our values guide us to a commitment to truth and reconciliation. Northern Health acknowledges the harms experienced by Indigenous peoples accessing the health system. We are committed to new ways of being, through building healthy and trusting relationships with Indigenous communities, families, individuals, and employees. These commitments are interwoven throughout the strategic priorities and are integral to the success of Northern Health.
