Description

Funded by the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer and managed by the Union of Nova Scotia Mi’kmaq, this three-year funded initiative identified objectives related to cancer care for Mi’kmaq people based on five core pillars: 1) creating a Mi’kmaq Nation Cancer Care Strategy for Nova Scotia; 2) increasing community awareness to prevent cancer; 3) increasing uptake in cancer screening and early detection of cancer; 4) improving outcomes in community-based support and care coordination; and 5) promoting improvements in treatment, palliative-care, and end-of-life care continuums for Mi’kmaq patients.
