Come work as a Nurse Practitioner with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)!
Vancouver Coastal Health is committed to improving the health and access to culturally safe healthcare of the Indigenous people in our region, and we recognize that we all have a contribution to make in reconciliation and healing. VCH’s Indigenous Health team works with staff and physicians across all programs and departments to provide strategic leadership, partner collaboration and community engagement to assist VCH to become a more culturally competent and safe organization.
The Musqueam Primary Care Clinic provides a full range of healthcare services to the Musqueam community. Our focus is culturally safe and holistic primary health care for children, youth, women, and families on reserve. This is a position that requires excellent skills at trust building. The position acknowledges that Indigenous health outcomes are directly related to the quality and stability of relationships that patients have with their providers. Providers must have a respect and understanding of intergenerational trauma resulting from the impacts of Indian Residential Schools and colonization. There is an expectation that the provider seriously considers the gravitas of taking on a panel of patients as their Most Responsible Provider and can reasonably commit to a long term working relationship. The NP works autonomously to meet the primary care needs of their patients with support from the social workers, traditional healers/elders, and clinic staff. Indigenous ancestry is an asset.
