Our Approach to Care


Culture is medicine and kindness is our practice.

OKIB believes health care should be respectful, welcoming, and connected to community. We recognize the ongoing impacts of colonization, residential schools, day schools, and intergenerational trauma.

We are working to provide care that is trauma-informed, culturally safe, grounded in syilx values, and connected across programs where possible. When services aren't available directly through OKIB, we work with outside health partners to help ensure care is still accessible.
