TORONTO — The Ontario government is investing up to $2 million over the next two years to expand the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council’s (IPHCC) Indigenous cultural safety training program. This expansion will allow the program to deliver more cultural training sessions to health care organizations so they can connect First Nations, Métis, Inuit and urban Indigenous people across the province to the culturally appropriate care they need.
“Our government is taking action to connect Ontarians to the care and support they need, close to home, no matter where they live,” said Sylvia Jones, Deputy Premier and Minister of Health. “Expanding the Indigenous cultural safety training program will ensure our health care partners have the tools they need to deliver high-quality, responsive care to the Indigenous communities they serve.”
