The Nor<strong>the</strong>rn Women’s Health Program began in 2003.<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> program is to improve women’s<br />
health by:<br />
a) Collaborating with <strong>the</strong> authorities to transition<br />
to a health care model with a “single point<br />
<strong>of</strong> reference” for coordinated prenatal care<br />
referrals for women <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NT and <strong>the</strong> Kitikmeot<br />
Region <strong>of</strong> Nunavut. We have established a toll<br />
free line for health care pr<strong>of</strong>essionals to call<br />
1-866-331-3376.<br />
b) Becoming a best practice center for NT primary<br />
healthcare providers delivering prenatal care<br />
services to access information, advice and<br />
support in <strong>the</strong>ir practice. We now hold<br />
monthly telehealth meetings to share new policies and practices in regards to<br />
perinatal care.<br />
c) Establishing a collaborative interdisciplinary site with an educational program<br />
where practitioners can provide prenatal care and birthing services in a supportive<br />
environment.<br />
For information on our next telehealth session, please send me an email, phone or fax<br />
to let me know you would like to attend. The following meeting will be on June 26, 09<br />
from 1200-1300.<br />
