Background:

Auduzhe Mino Nesewinong (Place of Healthy Breathing) is an evolving Indigenous Interprofessional Primary Care Team that began through a partnership with Native Men’s Residence, Call Auntie Clinic, and Well Living House, as a response to the disparities affecting the First Nation, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) population during the COVID-19 pandemic. The ongoing gaps in access to culturally safe and effective wholistic primary care leave more than 24,000 FNIM without a provider, subsequent gaps in preventative care, and a higher burden of disease and mortality. As a result, Auduzhe has been advancing to include vaccination, preventative, episodic and primary care to aim to meet the voiced needs of the community. Auduzhe focuses on disease prevention, vaccines across the lifespan, health promotion, wholistic care, and data sovereignty, through outreach partnerships, home visits, and on-site healing.
