About the Matawa Health Co-operative

Incorporated in 2017, the Matawa Health Co-operative (MHC) is a Matawa First Nations owned and controlled health co-operative providing healthcare services that enhance existing health services to achieve long-term health and wellbeing for all members within the nine Matawa First Nations. The MHC is overseen by a Board of Directors and is a member of the Health Care Co-operatives Federation of Canada. The MHC is community-driven with services tailored to individual community needs.

It oversees an Inter-Professional Primary Care Health Team providing direct services in the Matawa First Nations or through telemedicine.

The MHC works in partnership with the Matawa Health and Social Meno Biimadeswin and several other organizations, agencies and institutions affiliated with First Nations that provide health care and related programming.
