For over 20 years, OHSNI has been dedicated to providing timely, compassionate, and culturally responsive care to Nunavummiut.
Northern realities mean Nunavut residents often must travel thousands of kilometres for treatments. Our goal is to ensure their travel is as stress-free and efficient as it can be, while making follow-ups easier and more efficient.

OHSNI connects Nunavummiut to vital, life-enhancing care.
We partner with Northern patients and their families, Northern practitioners, and Southern practitioners, connecting patients to care they need. Our team facilitates medical travel and appointments in the South and arrange specialty medical clinics in the Baffin Region, providing service in each patient’s language of choice (English or Inuktitut). We’re dedicated to bridging geographic differences and ensuring that stays in Ottawa are as efficient and as short as possible.

On National Indigenous Languages Day, we recognize the importance of preserving and celebrating Indigenous languages as a vital part of culture, identity, and community well-being.
At OHSNI, we are proud to offer services in English and Inuktitut, helping ensure Inuit patients and families can access care in a language that is familiar and meaningful to them. Providing services in Inuktitut strengthens communication, builds trust, and helps us deliver culturally respectful care to the communities we serve.
Language connects us to culture, to one another, and to better health outcomes. Today, we celebrate the richness and importance of Indigenous languages.
