About this Promising Practice

The Global Spine Model of Care is an evidence-informed model of spine care that provides culturally safe, non-pharmacological treatment for managing spine-related health issues. It follows the Global Spine Care Initiative Model of Care, which includes triaging patients to the most appropriate member of the primary care team for the treatment of spine and spine-related health conditions. By offering services within the Cross Lake nursing station, this model helps alleviate the burden of travel, making treatment more accessible and closer to home in a northern community.
