NORTHERN FIRST NATIONS HEALTH AUTHORITY NEWS
Welcome to the Apr. 2023 edition of NORTH
IN THIS EDITION
 
Baldy Hughes was orginally built in the 1950s as a US Air Force Radar Station. Nowadays the site, 35 kilometres from Prince George, is home to men in recovery from addiction. Read more about the therapeutic community and farm that has changed lives in Stories From the Land.
 
First Nations community members who move to urban centres in the North are sometimes challenging to track down and connect with. FNHA's Urban and Away from Home team is hosting 24 engagement sessions this spring and summer to find out what they need for wellness and how best to keep in touch. Details are in Sharing Strengths.
 
We just celebrated Administrative Professionals Day and are looking for an experienced administrator to join our high functioning, well-rounded operations team. If this appeals to you, take a look at our featured job this month: Senior Administrative Coordinator. Details are on page 4. There are lots of other positions to check out there, too.
 
Becky Row, our regional director of engagement, guest-hosts the Bonfire Chat this month, sharing her thoughts on who the FNHA connects with, how we do it, and why it's so important.
 
In this month's FYI we're showcasing our new quality care coordinator, Braelyn McKenzie, who works with the FNHA's Quality Care and Safety Office. Find out how they can advocate for you. Mileage rates for medical transportation are extended. And we provide details of our upcoming sub-regional gatherings in the Northwest and Northeast.

On the cover
For well over a decade young hockey players have come to Lheidli T'enneh territory in the spring to compete in the Prince George Aboriginal Youth Hockey Championships. This year 50 teams signed up. On our cover is an NHL hopeful, guarding his team's net and stopping shots with gusto!
