FNHA’s In’ati Is’ick Tuberculosis (TB) services program includes consultation and support to Community Health Nurses (CHNs), Community Wellness Workers and First Nations Health Service Organizations. In’ati is’ick means to paddle across in Chinook language. Persons experiencing tuberculosis are not alone; we are paddling together to get across the divide of illness and colonization to the shores of wellness and Indigenous revitalization.
In’ati Is’ick aims to close the gap in disparity of TB incidence for First Nations peoples of BC to the all-population rate in British Columbia by 2022.
This Community Programming Guide directs you in how to create and launch TB services in your community.
