Uplifting Cultural Safety

On October 17, 2023, iCON and Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH) Indigenous Health hosted another Indigenous Health Round session titled “Uplifting Cultural Safety.”

We were honoured to have guest speakers Cathy Almost and Kwelkwáyel7simia Wendy Nahanee from the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Nation with an opening prayer from Elder Doris Fox. Cathy is the Director of Indigenous Cultural Safety, Indigenous Health at Vancouver Coastal Health. Kwelkwáyel7simia (Wendy) is the Indigenous Strategic Lead for Indigenous Cultural Safety at Vancouver Coastal Health. In this session, Cathy and Kwelkwáyel7simia (Wendy) guide the discussion on what Indigenous cultural safety looks like in health care, and how to build trust and avoid pitfalls when providing care for Indigenous patients.

This event was organized by VCH Indigenous Health and UBC iCON (Department of Emergency Medicine), and supported by the B.C. Ministry of Health Patients as Partners Initiative and the Vancouver Physician Staff Association.
