Our Vision
Our vision is to create a more inclusive and holistic healthcare system in Canada by promoting representation and accessibility for historically excluded communities. We recognize that although we are the global majority, our communities have been historically and intentionally underserved, excluded and discriminated against, which has created many systemic barriers to health that are still upheld today.
