Our Health Counts Kenora

Our Health Counts Kenora was co-led by Waasegiizhig Nanaandawe’iyewigamig Health Access Centre (WNHAC) and Well Living House (WLH) at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto, with guidance from a local Reference Group. The Reference Group included individuals from Indigenous and allied health and social services organizations in Kenora and from surrounding First Nations communities.

The main goal of OHC Kenora is to improve health services for Indigenous peoples
living in cities and related homelands. WLH and WNHAC worked in partnership to achieve two key objectives:

1. Develop a population-health database for Indigenous peoples living in
   Kenora and related homelands, that is owned and governed by local Indigenous
   community partners – and to apply the findings to health and social service planning,
   delivery, and evaluation.
2. Produce community-relevant reports using the data and information that has been generated from the population-health database.
