Provided by Cowichan Tribes

Indigenous health and wellness clinic that provides enhanced care and strong cultural support for Indigenous patients.

Indigenous community members who join the Slhexun sun’ts’a’ Clinic will receive the same services that they would at their family doctor. Their team is made up of doctors, nurse practitioners (who can provide many of the same services as doctors), nurses, health coaches, dietitians and other health professionals.

A typical appointment will include a visit with a doctor or nurse practitioner, a health coach, and other professionals depending on your needs, while honouring everyone's story and cultural safety. The health coach will visit with you and support you before, during, and after your appointments, providing the information needed to make better-informed decisions for health care options. Support is provided to navigate the range of resources and services available at the Slhexun sun'ts'a' Clinic, as well as the larger health care system
