Indigenous Cancer Control - Improving Cancer Control for Indigenous People
Cancer Care and Indigenous Services
Provided by BC Cancer
The Indigenous Patient Navigator service offers supportive, trauma-informed and culturally safe care to Indigenous patients and their families with cancer.
An Indigenous Patient Navigator (IPN) works with the cancer team to deliver supportive, trauma-informed and culturally safe care to Indigenous patients and their families. Patients who identify as Indigenous, First nations, Metis, Inuit, Status and Non-Status, can access IPN services. Please refer to their website as it offers Resources for you and your loved ones, including "Cancer and First Nations People in BC: A Community Resource" and Support Books for those living with cancer.
