Community Health & Wellbeing Planning

Health Transformation starts where healing happens — in the community. Each First Nation knows best what supports are needed for its people. That is why Community Health and Wellbeing Planning is at the heart of the new system.

This process gives every Nation the tools, resources, and decision-making power to shape its own health future.

It is a community-driven approach to:

• Define your short & long-term vision for health and wellness
• Decide how health funding should be used
• Identify gaps in care, services, housing, and mental health
• Choose who delivers care and how it is delivered

When communities lead, health care becomes:

• More relevant
• More trusted
• More effective

Each local plan is grounded in community priorities — whether that means land-based healing, mental health services, housing supports, or new infrastructure.

Community plans will guide how funding flows, how programs are built, and how success is measured. Your plan connects directly with regional and territorial planning to make sure your voice is never lost in the system.
