Empower Change: Exploring Healthcare Disparities in Indigenous Communities

Join us in a transformative conversation, where change, equity, and improved health can for Indigenous Peoples take center stage.

We’ll delve into the pressing issue of healthcare disparities within Indigenous communities across Canada. This special event is a collaborative effort between the University of Calgary’s Indigenous Health Program and renowned consultant and facilitator, Lowa Beebe. Together, they will lead an enlightening and inspiring discussion in a thought-provoking conversation about the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples in the Canadian healthcare system. They will share her insights and experiences, shedding light on the disparities and suggesting viable solutions.
