“Siksika’s Healthbox is a powerful example of how innovation and community care can come together to support the health of our Nation. By making essential wellness supplies easily accessible and free, we are empowering our members to take control of their health, while reinforcing the importance of connection and compassion. This initiative is just the beginning of a broader effort to ensure that everyone in our community can access the resources they need, with dignity and respect.”
Owen Crane Bear, Board Chair
“The Our Siksika Healthbox represents more than just a convenient access point for essential health supplies—it is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the health and well-being of our community. By providing free, anonymous access to life-saving materials and connecting individuals to further care, we are breaking down barriers and ensuring that everyone, especially our most vulnerable, has what they need to thrive. This initiative reflects our belief that health is a collective responsibility, and together, we are paving the way for a healthier future for all.”
Dr. Tyler White, CEO
“Our Siksika Healthbox is not just a source of supplies, it’s a lifeline for many in our community. As a Nurse Practitioner and the Team Leader behind this initiative, I see first hand how difficult it can be for some people on Siksika Nation to access the resources they need to stay healthy and safe. This initiative makes that easier by offering free, anonymous access to essential items. More than that, it gives us a new way to engage with our clients, ensuring they feel supported by the comprehensive offerings of our clinic. This is about building trust and making health accessible for all.”
