Minister Chong met with First Nations chiefs, along with Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq on August 31, 2009 to discuss progress to date and next steps in the Tripartite First Nations Health Plan.

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.
