Following the memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed between the 3Nations Society and the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) in September 2025, the 3Nations Transformative Health Declaration has now been officially signed.
This Declaration brings together the 3Nations Society – a partnership between the Tahltan, Kaska, and Taku River Tlingit Nations – alongside the First Nations Health Authority, First Nations Health Council Northern Region, Northern Health Authority, and the Ministry of Health. It marks a shared commitment to advancing Nation-led, culturally grounded health and wellness services across the 3Nations collective territories.
Some of the key goals of the partnership declaration include:
- Develop a 3Nations Transformative Health Agreement
- Improve and enhance health, healing, and wellbeing services for all members
- Increase access to high quality, culturally-safe virtual, mobile, and in-person service delivery
- Support health system transformation that reflects the Nations’ and other Indigenous worldviews, values and priorities
- Create three “Implementation Tables” to have oversight of the Health and Wellness Plan
