About this Promising Practice
The Southern Stl’atl’imx Nations felt it was essential to develop a First Nations-led legal entity and governance structure for the es zúmin’ Primary Care Centre to ensure it provides culturally safe primary care for the five First Nations communities it serves. A legal entity and governance structure called the es zúmin’ Primary Care Society (the Society) led by appointed representatives from the 5 First Nation communities is in place to govern the es zúmin’ Primary Care Centre in a culturally safe way.
