About We Ta Ma Kay
Welcome to the We-Ta-Ma-Kay Virtual Health Information Center! We aim to support the health and well-being information needs at Fort Severn First Nation (FSFN) and our neighbouring remote communities.
Community members can call us toll free on 855-694-1824 and ask for health and well being information you would like. Community members may also use the form below to ask questions. Remember, if you have a medical emergency please call the Nursing Station. The We-Ta-Ma-Kay Virtual Health Information center is not equipped to handle medical emergencies or diagnose and recommend treatments.
Through this website and our call center agents, we will share verified information from sources like the Sioux Lookout First Nation Health Authority and the Government of Canada. Importantly, we will also share traditional healing practices from our Elders.
This website has three main sections. The first shares information on Health and Well Being. The second focusses on Diseases and Disorders. The third on Traditional Healing and Care. The sections are organized by different topics. We will keep adding to this information.
Another useful feature of this site is the Frequently Asked Questions or FAQ. This is an opportunity for you to search for information on your own or ask your questions.
We will also keep updating the Community Announcements that relate to Health and Well Being on this page.
The We-Ta-Ma-Kay Virtual Health Information Center has been made possible through funding provided by the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, Government of Canada.
The Learn and Uplift Foundation, Toronto has assisted Fort Severn in developing, planning and implementing this initiative.
