Engage Global Health – Canada

First Nations Partnerships

EGH has worked with Montana First Nation (past engagement), providing advisory support and strategic planning for health programs and initiatives. Our work included grant writing, stakeholder engagement, and strengthening connections with key health system partners such as:

• Alberta International Medical Graduates Association

• College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta

We also trained case workers, managers, and directors using a population health approach, strengthening their capacity to support clients holistically.

Tallcree First Nation – Indigenous Primary Health Care Innovation Fund

EGH partnered with Tallcree First Nation on a successful application to Alberta’s Indigenous Primary Health Care Innovation Fund, a provincial program investing $20 million over two years to support more than 14 community-led health innovation projects.

Tallcree First Nation was selected as one of the recipients. The funded initiative represents a first-of-its-kind health innovation project in Tallcree, designed to strengthen access to culturally responsive primary care services within the community.

EGH provided:

• Strategic advisory leadership

• Grant development and proposal writing

• Program design support

• Implementation planning and systems guidance

The project is scheduled to open in April 2026, marking a major milestone in community-led health system innovation.

Dr. Setorme collaborates with EGH on selected health literacy sessions, supporting prevention-focused and culturally responsive community engagement.

Compassion Wellness Medical Centre provides comprehensive, patient-centered care across all ages, operating under a team-based Patient’s Medical Home model in collaboration with the Edmonton Southside Primary Care Network (ESPCN), with access to allied health professionals.

The clinic offers preventive, acute, and chronic care, virtual services, and select uninsured services, including employment medicals and non-invasive aesthetic treatments.
