As part of our ongoing commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, the MHA was proud to collaborate recently with the Southwest Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre (SOAHAC) to offer an engaging and meaningful cultural safety education series for staff.

Facilitated by the amazing Nikki George, these interactive sessions created space for shared learning through storytelling, reflection, and dialogue. Staff from across the organization—particularly those in frontline roles—participated in deepening their understanding of Indigenous cultural safety and its importance in the care we provide.

Sessions were held on March 26 at Four Counties Health Services and March 30 at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital, with strong participation at both locations. Check out the great pic of the group at FCHS below!

We are grateful to SOAHAC and to Nikki for guiding this important learning opportunity and supporting our continued commitment to culturally safe care.

to last Friday, March 20 🤝

We were proud to host this quarter’s Hospital and CMO (Chippewa, Muncey, Oneida) Meeting as part of our ongoing commitment to Reconciliation.

MHA has been meeting with this incredible group regularly to listen, learn and collaborate—sharing Indigenous community health events, requests, and priorities, while also providing updates on our ongoing work to strengthen Indigenous care and cultural safety across our organization.

This important table brings together partners from MHA, STEGH, Elgin and Middlesex London OHTs, and the Southwestern Ontario Aboriginal Health Access Centre (SOAHAC), alongside health leadership from Chippewa, Muncey, and Oneida.

We look forward to continuing to build relationships rooted in respect, learning, and a shared commitment to better health outcomes for Indigenous Peoples and communities.

⚡ Big News: Second Emergency Generator Coming to FCHS!

We’re excited to share that FCHS will soon have a second emergency generator to help keep hospital operations running smoothly during power outages—an important and much-anticipated upgrade! 🙌 This project is possible thanks to Hospital Infrastructure Renewal Funding from the provincial government.

To make this happen, a temporary portable generator will be installed in the staff parking lot starting Monday, March 30 for approximately one month. This unit will ensure we continue to have reliable emergency power while our existing generator is taken offline for necessary connections. We wanted to share this update in advance in case patients/visitors notice the activity in the area and wonder what’s happening 😊

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we complete this important work to strengthen our infrastructure and support patient care 💙

For today's , we wanted to remind everyone about Dr. Mohammed's Endoscopy Clinics at FCHS!

🩺 What is Endoscopy?
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that allows doctors to look inside your digestive system using a thin, flexible tube with a small camera on the end. It helps doctors see the esophagus, stomach, and the beginning of the small intestine — without surgery.

🔍 Why is it important?
An endoscopy may be recommended if you’re experiencing symptoms such as persistent stomach pain, difficulty swallowing, heartburn, vomiting, or unexplained weight loss. It can help identify causes like ulcers, inflammation, infection, or early signs of cancer.

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post—many people aren’t yet aware of Dr. Mohammed’s clinics, and your share can help connect patients to the care they need!
