First Nation, Inuit, and Métis (FNIM) communities in Ontario face unique healthcare challenges due to systemic racism and the impacts of colonization. To address these issues, it is crucial for healthcare providers to have the necessary resources to offer culturally safe and high-quality care to FNIM individuals and communities.

The Indigenous Primary Health Care Council (IPHCC) is an Indigenous-governed organization dedicated to enhancing Indigenous primary healthcare services across Ontario. IPHCC's mission is to foster healthier Indigenous communities through healthcare models rooted in Indigenous principles, values, and knowledge. Their Model of Wholistic Health and Wellbeing integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, emphasizing that culture itself is a form of treatment and healing.

IPHCC supports frontline healthcare providers by ensuring they are well-funded and resourced, using Indigenous solutions to improve health outcomes and decolonize health systems. The IPHCC website offers various resources for healthcare providers, such as the Indigenous Patient Family Community Engagement Toolkit and infographics on cultural safety, unconscious bias, and land acknowledgements.

In August 2023, the Provincial Council for Maternal and Child Health (PCMCH) formed a strategic partnership with IPHCC to promote high-quality healthcare for Indigenous peoples in Ontario, acknowledging that Indigenous health should be managed by Indigenous communities.
