Signed on June 11, 2007, the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan is intended to improve health services and enhance First Nations involvement in the delivery of health services and to help close the gaps in health status between First Nations people and other British Columbians. The Plan is already generating tangible and measureable changes that are positively impacting the health outcomes of B.C. First Nations in key areas such as mental health, e-health, and maternal and child health. First Nations are taking an active role in creating culturally appropriate health promotion initiatives.
