Working in partnership with regional First Nations, and municipal, provincial and federal levels of government, FHQTC has created many important non-profit institutions that deliver essential programs and services across southern Saskatchewan. These organizations advance community health and wellness, develop training and employment, provide education, and protect culture, contributing to an improved quality of life for all.

Pasikow Muskwa Healing Centre
A culturally-enhanced chronic kidney wellness centre, providing holistic services, including access to a nurse practitioner, a traditional Knowledge Keeper, a primary care chronic disease nurse, and other experts to help meet each patient’s unique care needs.

“I think the Chiefs and the Elders way back had a vision … so the institutions that were developed were based on the community’s desires, on their needs. You know, the hospital, White Raven, Safe Shelters, Silver Sage, all those reflect our needs, whether on-reserve or off-reserve. And again, it was all based on the principles of tâpwêwin, and miyo-wîcêhtowin … about sharing….So using our cultural understandings, our traditional values, I guess it ties us all together.”

– Chief Marie-Anne Daywalker-Pelletier, former Chief of Okanese First Nation, Member of the Order of Canada, and the longest serving elected Chief in Canadian history
