Join hosts Gail Donner and Mary Wheeler for a compelling conversation with Athanasius "Tanas" Sylliboy BScN, MN, NP, ENC©, of Eskasoni First Nation, is a Mi’kmaw Primary Care Nurse Practitioner in Millbrook, Nova Scotia.
Watch and listen as Tanas discusses his practice of Indigenous health and healing, and how racism persists in the healthcare system and stands in the way of equitable access to care amongst racialized communities. As Tanas so eloquently told us, “all individuals are worthy of care, yet there is still much work to be done to ensure access without discrimination. As such, we have a responsibility to bring more voices to the table in order to advocate for and achieve meaningful change."
