Eskasoni Health Centre is the essence of our community, it allows for all community members to have local services, outreach, prevention and over all holistic care, hearing our language when you are greeted at the door and front desk is a big thing. Seeing nurses from our community, staff from our community, that sets us apart.

The Eskasoni Health Centre is super important to our community because it's all about indigenous health. They offer care and services that respect our culture and meet our unique needs. By putting indigenous health first, the center helps make our community healthier and happier!

As the largest Mi’kmaq community, we are very fortunate to have access to health care in our community. It’s important for us to receive health care from professionals that understand Mi’kmaw ways of life, culture, and barriers in order to eliminate systemic racism.
