After an extensive one year consultation process with Aboriginal communities, the First Nations Health Authority, educational partners, government and non-profit groups, the Centre for Excellence in Indigenous Health was formally established at 亚洲天堂 on January 1st, 2014.

The Centre is a single coordinating point for Indigenous health initiatives within 亚洲天堂 and acts as a contact for communities and organizations external to 亚洲天堂. The Centre is dedicated to advancing Indigenous people鈥檚 health through education, innovative thinking, research, and traditional practice. It will work to improve wellness, health care and patient outcomes, and promote self-determination that includes increasing Indigenous leadership in all aspects of health and health care.
