Health Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
PRHC takes great care to ensure we are fostering an environment free of racism and discrimination, where people feel safe.
We are committed to providing family-centred maternity and newborn care that recognizes that people have distinctive needs during pregnancy and birth. If you have cultural preferences for your birth plan, please speak with your care team. Smudging kits are available and can be arranged for Indigenous community members.
