Welcome to Huli'tun Health Society
At Huli'tun Health Society we serve Halalt First Nation and Lyackson First Nation to restore balance through a culturally holistic approach to health care that promotes physical, mental, emotional and spiritual harmony within all members living in the communities.
This site provides information to our member communities on Huli'tun Health Society programs, services, and events happening within the communities. All services that are offered are run by interdisciplinary teams which include nurses, care aides, community representatives, counsellors and support staff.
Quality of healthcare and service is the primary goal of each member of the staff. We work together to provide the best possible health care services to our members to improve health, well-being and build on the strength of Halalt and Lyackson Nations.
