This month GGH welcomed Jamie (she/her), as the hospital’s new Indigenous Patient Navigator (IPN) through the hospital’s partnership with Southwest Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre (SOAHAC).

In her role as an IPN, Jamie works with First Nations, Métis and Inuit patients and families to navigate the health care system. This might look like connecting patients to both mainstream or Indigenous community resources and supports, helping connect patients to cultural practices and advocating in health care systems. She supports patients in understanding their health care plans, assists with discharge planning, and works to reduce barriers to equitable, holistic health.

St. Patrick’s Day is all about celebrating, but staying safe is just as important. Keep these tips in mind while you enjoy the day:

• Stick together. If you’re going out with friends, make sure you know where everyone is throughout the night.

• Know your limits, whether it’s alcohol, cannabis, or anything else.

• Plan your ride ahead of time, whether that’s public transit, a rideshare, or a designated driver.
• Never drink and drive.

• Look out for one another. If something doesn’t feel right, step in and support your friends.

Have fun, celebrate responsibly, and take care of each other. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
