Indigenous primary health care funding – Innovation Fund

Overview

The Indigenous Primary Health Care Innovation Fund (Innovation Fund) builds upon Alberta’s commitment to transform its primary health care delivery system to improve access to primary health care services for Indigenous peoples. It is intended to lay a solid foundation for the delivery of accessible, relevant, high quality, and culturally safe primary health care led by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples in Alberta.

The Innovation Fund program supports Indigenous-led programs that:

• build a high-quality primary health care system that is designed and delivered by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples in Alberta
• support community capacity to design and deliver culturally safe primary health care services for Indigenous peoples close to home
• strive to improve health equity for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples in Alberta in a way that honours and respects Indigenous expertise, knowledge, and traditional healing
• develop a path towards eliminating Indigenous racism within Alberta’s health care system, and build a culturally safe workforce that includes Indigenous providers
• mobilize First Nations, Métis, and Inuit primary health care system innovation with Indigenous peoples as partners
