Shaping the Future of Métis Albertans Long-term and Continuing Care

We recognize that long-term and continuing care (LTCC) encompasses diverse experiences and perspectives. Through this project we engaged Métis long-term and continuing care recipients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community members interested in the future of LTCC in Alberta to create a comprehensive understanding of how Métis Albertans experience this care.

Current Initiatives

To further explore the LTCC priorities of Métis Albertans, the Otipemisiwak Métis Government is working with academic and community partners to engage Métis Albertans on the following initiatives:

.
