Health PEI welcoming two Mi’kmaq Health Systems Navigators

Health PEI says two Mi’kmaq Health Systems Navigators are helping Mi’kmaq people access health services on PEI. Shelby Arsenault is the Mi’kmaq Navigator West, working out of the Lennox Island Health Centre. Crissy Riley is the Mi’kmaq Navigator East, working out of the Abegweit Health Centre. Both are employed by their respective communities with funding from Health PEI and the Anti-Indigenous Racism Fund and Indigenous Services Canada.  The Mi’kmaq Health Systems Navigators will help guide Mi’kmaq clients and families through the health system; and advocate for improvements in PEI health systems based on gaps found to be facing Mi’kmaq clients and families.
