About

The Health Department is the largest Department on Cold Lake. The Department is responsible for delivering health care services on reserve. Health care services include community nursing, counselling and additions services, head start, medical transfers, homecare, and various other community health services. The Department is funded directly by Health Canada and has very clear reporting arrangements that guide program management.

Cold Lake First Nations Health Center is the ‘Community Health Services’ Center serving the community’s citizens and on-reserve residents. Our skilled staff members are here to help with healing and assist our community members. We are proud to provide welcoming care to our most vulnerable citizens.
