Horizon is committed to improving access to cultural supports, addressing systemic barriers and supporting the health care team in providing culturally safe, relevant and supportive care to Indigenous patients and their families.

Studies show Indigenous people experience some of the highest incidences of systemic barriers while accessing and receiving health care worldwide. We want to hear about the lived experience of Indigenous patients and their families so we can identify opportunities for improvement to continue to build a health care system that is culturally safe and sensitive to the realities of Indigenous people.

To address these barriers Horizon has established an Indigenous Health team that includes two Indigenous Patient Navigators (IPNs) for the Fredericton and Upper River Valley area and the Miramichi area. As well, we have a regional manager who oversees the programming and guides system changes through policy development, identifying and addressing systemic barriers.

Horizon provides health care to people living on the traditional Wabanaki territory, part of which is what is now known as New Brunswick. We are working to improve services for Indigenous people living within and outside First Nation communities.

We thank you for taking the time to answer the survey below and share your ideas on ways we can improve the patient experience for Indigenous people.
