W O L Foundation values the importance of patient empowerment and patient-centered care. There is a need for learning and reconciliation in medicine as there are notable inequities in the health status of the Indigenous population in comparison to the general population. Access to traditional medicine practices is essential to Indigenous treatment. The Indigenous community deserves to receive culturally appropriate care free of racism and stereotyping. Engagement and acknowledgement of their culture to support diabetic care, and other illnesses, that they unfortunately face at a very disproportionately high rate, in comparison to the general population, is crucial. Traditional Indigenous healing practices must be re-introduced in their healthcare programs. This approach recognizes that patients come from diverse cultural backgrounds and their culture can impact their behaviours, and responses to treatment.
