This learning collaborative is presented by Healthcare Excellence Canada. 

# About the collaborative

Advancing Cultural Safety Together supports healthcare organizations to address systemic racism and advance culturally safe care.

Through coaching, shared learning including possible in-person and virtual events, and practical tools, teams will be supported to implement the Cultural Safety Pathway — a structured approach to creating meaningful and lasting change to address systemic racism and advance culturally safe care.

  • 80 teams from across Canada will be invited to join
  • The collaborative will run for two years starting in September 2026. Applications are open until July 31, 2026.
  • Participating teams will have an opportunity to build relationships, share, and learn from organizations and HEC coaches from across the country

# Why it matters

Racism experienced by First Nations, Inuit and Métis in healthcare is a critical patient safety issue. It leads to harm, mistrust, inequitable access to care and worse health outcomes. Across the country, healthcare organizations are increasingly recognizing the urgent need to address systemic racism and improve cultural safety.

Advancing Cultural Safety Together gives you a clear and supported way to address systemic racism and improve cultural safety. Your team can make meaningful progress in addressing systemic racism and advancing culturally safe care in your setting — leading to safer experiences, stronger trust and improved health and wellness of First Nations, Inuit and Métis patients, families and communities.

# By joining the collaborative, you will:

  • Identify clear, actionable steps to address systemic racism based on an organizational assessment
  • Strengthen relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities
  • Build capacity to provide culturally safe care

The result?

Improved relationships with First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities, leading to stronger trust and safer care experiences.

The collaborative and pathway content align with forthcoming indicators, reporting and standards. This includes the Health Standards Organization’s new First Nations, Inuit and Métis-led National Standard of Canada for Cultural Safety and Humility and the Canadian Institute for Health Information’s cultural safety and Indigenous-specific racism indicators.
