Island Health acknowledges that Indigenous-specific racism persists within our organization and the communities we serve. We recognize that the ongoing impacts of colonialism cause significant harm to Indigenous Peoples and contribute to health inequities. In response, Island Health has implemented an Indigenous-specific Anti-Racism and Discrimination Policy. The policy applies equally to all those associated with Island Health, including employees, medical staff, contracted healthcare professionals, students, and volunteers.
Island Health employees are to complete “Working Together As One” to Address Indigenous-specific Racism and Discrimination course.
It is mandatory for all Island Health staff and medical staff.
You will learn about our shared responsibility to address Indigenous-specific racism and discrimination, how to recognize and identify it when it occurs, and how to respond safely and appropriately. More information found here.
