The Metis Nation of Ontario Health Branch
facilitates and coordinates effective activities to
address the holistic needs of the Métis Nation
in Ontario at the provincial, regional and local levels.
Aboriginal health is wholistic, and includes the physical,
mental, emotional, spiritual and cultural aspects of
life.
Through this understanding of self, a vision of wellness
which balances body, mind and spirit is promoted throughout
the healing continuum.
Committed partnerships between Aboriginal
and non-Aboriginal people and governments will recognize
and respect the diversities in lifestyles and traditions
of Aboriginal people regardless of residency and status.
Self-determination in health will be supported by appropriate
levels of financial and human resources for Aboriginal-designed,
-developed and -delivered programs and services that
respect and promote community responsibility, autonomy
and local control. MNO Health Programs and Services
