Our Mission
A Message from the Chief
As Chief of the Chiniki First Nation, I am acutely aware of the healthcare challenges faced by our people and many other communities across Canada. For far too long, Indigenous communities and other underserved populations have struggled with limited access to essential healthcare services for both physical and mental health. These challenges affect not only our elders and adults but also our children, who face rising rates of mental health issues without adequate support.
To address these urgent needs and ensure equitable access to healthcare for all, the Chiniki Group of Companies (CGC) made the strategic decision to acquire Infinity Health, now the largest Indigenous rehabilitation services provider in Canada. This acquisition is a commitment to providing meaningful healthcare solutions for underserved populations across the country. Infinity Health has a proven track record of delivering exceptional care and outcomes and, as a First Nations-owned entity, is uniquely positioned to understand and meet the specific needs of diverse communities.
Our vision is to expand the number of communities served, focusing not only on those living on Nation lands but also on other underserved regions throughout Canada. We believe that every person, regardless of where they live or who they are, deserves access to high-quality healthcare services. To achieve this, we are leveraging our new partnership with Infinity Health to pilot innovative programs that address the most pressing healthcare needs. This includes specialized programs targeting mental health issues among children, the deployment of modular support teams to serve rural areas, and telehealth initiatives that enhance accessibility for all Canadians.
By combining the strengths of Infinity Health with our commitment to community care and reconciliation, we are paving the way for a healthier, more equitable future for everyone. As we move forward, our focus will remain on finding new ways to enhance healthcare access, quality, and outcomes for all communities across Canada.
Thank you for supporting us in this vital endeavour. Together, we can build healthcare infrastructure that truly serves everyone and provides access to all.
Sincerely,
Aaron Young
Chairman of the Board, Chiniki Group of Companies (CGC)
Chief of the Chiniki First Nation
