Providing comprehensive, culturally safe healthcare while addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of our Urban Indigenous relatives.
Primary Care Clinic
About the Primary Care Clinic
Aligned with the vision of the Aboriginal Health and Wellness Centre, the Primary Care Clinic provides resources that enable individuals to attain or maintain the balance in their lifestyle that is necessary for health. The clinic is committed to offering traditional and/or contemporary healing practices to meet the needs of the urban Aboriginal community.
Through modelling the Seven Sacred teachings using core principles such as honesty respect and humility, the hope is to foster a safe environment that emphasizes the well being of all who share these spaces, staff and constituents alike. We practice from a trauma informed lens rooted in a harm reduction approach, grounded in understanding of responsiveness to the physical, psychological and emotional safety for both providers and survivors. This creates opportunities for survivors to rebuild a sense of control and empowerment. Harm reduction focuses on working with people without judgement, coercion, discrimination or requiring that they stop using drugs as a precondition of support.

The difference our care makes...
What makes AHWC different is our commitment to care without barriers. Guided by Indigenous values, trauma-informed practice, and harm reduction principles, we build trusting relationships and meet people where they are. We understand that health extends beyond medical care, which is why our Social Support Counsellors help navigate housing, income, food security, education, cultural connections, and other supports that influence overall wellness.
Our team works collaboratively across AHWC's programs and with community partners to ensure constituents are connected to the services they need. Whether someone is seeking a family physician, managing a chronic condition, accessing addictions care, or simply looking for guidance and support, they will be welcomed with compassion, dignity, and respect.
