Anishnawbe Health Toronto (AHT) is the only fully accredited Community Health Centre in Toronto driven by Indigenous leadership and dedicated to serving the specific needs of Indigenous people. It is also one of the only health centres in Canada with Traditional Healers on staff full time.

Access to Traditional Healing is essential to the healing and wellbeing of Indigenous peoples as it connects them to their cultural identity, spirituality and traditional knowledge, all aspects of holistic wellbeing. Rooted in lived experience, traditional healing practices offer an avenue of wellness that addresses the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of the individual.

The Traditional Team is the core of AHT’s organization and works with all programs within it. The team is made up of Traditional Healers from varying First Nation communities and Osh-ka-be-wis (Traditional Helpers). They work with clients on a daily basis doing one-on-one doctoring and teachings to ensure spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing of our community members.
