- Abstract
With an increasing emphasis on holistic and culturally appropriate healthcare, a community in the Yukon has set a new standard for serving the needs of its specific population. Whitehorse General Hospital has collaborated with representative Yukon First Nations elders to create the First Nations Health Program, a program dedicated to allowing Aboriginal people to access Traditional practices, which are integrated alongside Western healthcare. This program has successfully demonstrated the importance of incorporating culture into the healing process.
