Funding | Federal |
| Description: The Health Facilities Program provides funding to support: planning construction expansion renovation maintenance management of community health facilities. These activities provide First Nations, Inuit and ISC-employed healthcare staff the space required to safely and efficiently deliver health care programs and services in First Nations and Inuit communities. The types of health infrastructure supported under this program include health services buildings, addictions treatment centres, Aboriginal Head Start on Reserve spaces and residences for healthcare professionals. The nature of the health infrastructure required by a community is assessed based on a number of factors: the types of health programs and services being delivered in the community the number and type of health professionals providing such services population size the proximity of the community to provincial, territorial or other community health services The majority of health facilities funded through the program are First Nations health facilities serving First Nations individuals and families living on or near reserves. The program supports First Nations communities in assuming greater control over their health facilities planning, for example, through the use of community health plans, including operational plans to support health services delivery. The long-term goal of the program is to transfer control over the planning, design and delivery of health infrastructure programs and services to Indigenous organizations and institutions. |
