Tla'amin Nation has been named the recipient of the 2026 Rural BC Community Award, presented by the Rural Coordination Centre of BC — one of the most distinguished honours a rural BC community can receive for health care excellence.
Tla'amin Health operates the largest clinic in the qathet region, serving all Indigenous people in the area. The clinic offers primary, dental, mental health, chronic disease, harm reduction, palliative, and prenatal care — with visiting specialists in neurology, pediatrics, and geriatrics seeing patients on-site, eliminating a significant travel barrier.
"I don't think we always realize how lucky we are to have so many services available to our community so close to home, and delivered by our people," said Hegus John Hackett. "On any given day, our people have access to culturally safe and caring dental, mental health, and primary care. That is something worth celebrating."
