Mission Statement
Kílala Lelum (Urban Indigenous Health and Healing Cooperative) aims to partner Indigenous Elders with physicians and allied health professionals to provide physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual care to the community in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.
About This Cause
Kilala Lelum is a nonprofit Indigenous Health organization that has been operating in Vancouver’s inner city since 2018. The Kilala Lelum Health Centre, located in Vancouver’s DTES, offers an inter-professional team-based primary care home that includes a balanced partnership of services between traditional Indigenous Elders/Healers and primary care providers. The mandate of Kilala Lelum is to provide culturally safe and effective care to patients of all nations. Specifically, the centre has the mandate to enact the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action in Health (Health Actions 19-23) and to specifically recognize, respect, and address the distinct health needs of the Métis, Inuit, First Nations, and off-reserve Indigenous peoples.
