The Wawa Family Health Team would like to acknowledge the land in which we hold our practice of medicine on and the land of the people we serve. We are grateful to reside on the lands and home of the Anishinaabe and Cree and respectfully acknowledge that this land is Indigenous land that has been inhabited by Indigenous people from the beginning. We are grateful for the opportunity to connect here, and we thank all the generations of people, who have stewarded and cared for the land for thousands of years. We recognize and deeply appreciate the historic contributions of the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis peoples both in shaping and strengthening this province and country. The Wawa Family Health Team promotes a healthier community through creating a safe space that welcomes diversity, inclusion, and acceptance for everyone. We are committed to the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation, and we are learning that acknowledgement of the past and current traumas will aid us in providing equitable and culturally appropriate care. We promise to express humility in our daily practices to provide the utmost patient-centered care we can.
