As we begin a new year, we’re taking a moment to share more about our work at OHSNI. For over 20 years, OHSNI has helped connect Nunavummiut with southern practitioners to access vital, life-enhancing care.

Through collaboration with partners across the health system, OHSNI supports coordinated, patient-centred care for northern communities, helping reduce barriers to access and improve continuity of services. As we look ahead in 2026, collaboration and trust remain at the heart of our work to support equitable, culturally informed access to specialized health services.
