The line will be staffed with Indigenous people working with Health Link and will be available daily between noon and 8 p.m. The line will be staffed with Indigenous people who will answer questions, help access culturally appropriate care and support and assist with navigating the healthcare system. Clients can call any time during their healthcare journey with questions or concerns, whether they're not currently receiving care, about to start care, in care, or were discharged. The system will be deployed in phases, starting with northwest Indigenous communities and other areas will be added each week for six weeks.
