Celebrating the Spirit of Partnership

Collaboration of Health Care Providers & Communities

On July 18, 2022, nearly 60 representatives from across the Rainy River District came together in the spirit of celebration around the partnership uniting the Rainy River District Ontario Health Team (RRDOHT).

On the Treaty 3 land of the Naicatchewenin First Nation (Northwest Bay) and presided over by Elder Gilbert Smith of the Naicatchewenin First Nation, the ceremony featured traditional drumming and dancing, and invited speakers to share their thoughts and feelings about the important collaborative efforts to improve health care outcomes and experiences in the district — through the work of the RRDOHT and the partnership of health care providers and the communities they care for.

We look forward to moving these partnerships forward in a good way, and seeing the positive effects of these efforts in all our communities in the Rainy River District.
