Fraser Health is committed to improving the health of First Nations peoples living in Fraser Health communities and reserves.

From Burnaby to White Rock to Boston Bar, Fraser Health serves 1.5 million people. Reviewing the current environment provides a profile of Fraser Health’s approximately 36,837 Aboriginal peoples in 34 First Nation communities (Aboriginal Identity, Census 2006) and their health status.

Of the 36,837 Aboriginal peoples (14,800 representing Status Registered Indians and 5,428 Non-Status Indians), 20,228 are First Nations, 14,632 are Métis, 175 are Inuit and 520 are represented by Multiple Aboriginal Identity.

Aboriginal Health Plan (2007 – 2010)

The Aboriginal Technical Advisory Group's collaboration and research had a single purpose: to identify how Fraser Health can better serve the health needs of Aboriginal residents. This effort has led to a much greater understanding and recognition of where health services in Fraser Health must be adapted or expanded to better serve these needs.

Building on the progress of the Transformative Change Accord, Fraser Health's Health Promotion and Prevention Services: Aboriginal Health Plan (2007 – 2010) was approved by Aboriginal partners in 2007.

Aboriginal Health Plan

September 25, 2009 marked the third annual Fraser Health Aboriginal Health Year in Review celebration. This last year has focused on improving health outcomes for Aboriginal people (one of the three strategic priorities from the Aboriginal Health Plan).
