“You Are My Sunshine”
By Brandon Jacko

 

Delivering Women’s Health Equity 

At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Anishnawbe Health Toronto had to quickly pivot its primary healthcare services to support people across a wide spectrum of social-economical situations. In order to meet community members wherever they were located, the Mobile Health Unit was introduced. 

Culturally inclusive and responsive services were provided to those who were unhoused, often street-involved, or seeking refuge in park encampments. AHT partnered with Indigenous housing and community agencies to deliver on-site medical and social services including COVID-19 testing and vaccinations, wrap around health care services, and housing support.
