Racism in Healthcare Virtual Talk: In collaboration with The Pacific Peoples' Partnership

Racism in Healthcare is not a thing of the past. It continues to plague the experiences and lives of members of communities of colour especially the Indigenous community. We continue to see and hear about countless members of our community who are mistreated and dismissed when seeking medical care, ultimately not receiving what is sometimes life-saving care that is needed.

Join us for this virtual talk led by Indigenous & BIPOC healthcare professionals, and in collaboration with Pacific Peoples’ Partnership.

This talk will be led by Bri Aberdeen certified holistic doula & creator of M to M Wellness focused on post-partum wellness, Vanessa Prescot Clinical and Registered Herbal Therapist, Indigenous Patient Coordinator of BC Cancer Society and Maddi Grier of FRAFCA(Fraser Region Aboriginal Friendship Centre Association - Indigenous Health and Wellness Clinic.
