What is Public Health in Eeyou Istchee? Sol Awashish interviews Dr. Alain Poirier (English/Cree).

The Public Health programs of the CBHSSJB are regional. Some programs work to strengthen clinical services so that patients receive better care, and other programs work with community stakeholders to make our homes, schools, workplaces, food services, and natural environments safer and healthier for all.
