Health Services Integration Fund is a five-year initiative supporting collaborative planning and multi-year projects aimed at better meeting the health-care needs of First Nations and Inuit. Through HSIF, Health Canada is working with other Provincial, Territorial and First Nations and Inuit organizations to:
- improve the integration of federally-funded health services in First Nations and Inuit communities with those funded by the provinces and territories;
- build multi-party partnerships to advance health service integration;
- improve First Nations and Inuit access to health services; and
- increase the participation of First Nations and Inuit in the design, delivery, and evaluation of health programs and services.
