New website offers improved navigation and connection to FNHA regional programs, services and supports
FNHA.ca has evolved into a trusted source of First Nations-led health and wellness information and innovation for visitors from BC, Canada and around the world.
Technology, search tools and user preferences have evolved faster than our old website could support; for example, more than half of current visitors access FNHA.ca on their mobile phones.
A website built on your search preferences and feedback
Before designing a new site, FNHA studied web search data to learn where visitors got stuck trying to find information. We gathered feedback from nearly 800 First Nations people from each of the five FNHA health regions on how we could improve the site content.
FNHA also connected with a focus group of First Nations respondents to take a deeper dive into how to ensure the site reflects the FNHA’s grounding in Traditional Wellness and First Nations culture.
Participants repeatedly expressed interest in knowledge sharing, First Nations perspectives and stories about real people from communities across BC.
What’s new and improved
Our new site design aims to make information easier to find, organize related content and make it simpler to connect to services and support closer to home.
- More intuitive page navigation including ‘breadcrumbs’ to enable users to go back to previous pages they’ve visited.
- An advanced search function to find programs, services and stories by keyword and regional location.
- A regional services directory.
Please let us know what you think of the changes!
FNHA would like to acknowledge with gratitude all those who have shared their thoughts and ideas for site improvements and we welcome ongoing feedback as we continue to update the new site to better connect First Nations people in BC with news, information and resources to support their health and wellness journeys.
