First Peoples Group is honoured to support The Ottawa Hospital in advancing Indigenous cultural safety within its workforce.
Through our partnership, we are designing a customized Cultural Safety Learning Module to be delivered in-person to select personnel, fostering deep engagement and meaningful discussions on Indigenous perspectives in healthcare. Additionally, we are developing a series of five e-learning modules to be delivered to the remaining personnel, ensuring that nearly 17,000 healthcare professionals across The Ottawa Hospital have access to critical learning on Indigenous history, cultural safety, and reconciliation in the healthcare system.
To ensure these learning modules are informed by authentic Indigenous voices and lived experiences, we engaged with local Indigenous Nations and organizations throughout the development process. Their guidance and knowledge were essential in shaping content that is culturally relevant, respectful, and impactful.
This initiative is a significant step toward creating a more culturally competent and inclusive healthcare environment—one where Indigenous patients, families, and communities feel seen, respected, and supported.
