The Cree Health Board is proud to acknowledge the hard work of our pharmacists. They worked hard to minimize the impact of nationwide medication shortages in Eeyou Istchee and introduced new technologies to improve the efficiency and safety in the pharmacy departments in the CMCs and the regional hospital.
The Cree Nation now has a full vaccination rate of 85% among people who are older than 18.
Today is Suicide Prevention Awareness Day. As the season changes and we prepare for winter, let us continue to heal, hold each other strong and carry forward. If you're struggling, please remember that it's okay to ask for help.
