Reviews

The authors address health inequities in a factual way, with a focus on diversity and strengths. In doing so they leave space for communities to generate local solutions. This book pays tribute to the strengths and resiliency of northerners and underscores the multifactorial nature of inequities due to social, economic, geographic, and cultural factors. - Nancy L. Young, Senior Scientist, CHEO Research Institute This ambitious, innovative volume is a much-needed overview of topics critical to understanding the complexity of health and health services in the Canadian North. Bringing together discussions of social and environmental determinants of health with issues of health care service delivery across territorial and provincial norths, Health and Health Care in Northern Canada presents a path to health equity and empowerment for northern peoples and institutions. - Christopher Fletcher, Associate Professor, Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Universite Laval This comprehensive volume is long overdue. The broad range of topics discussed by interdisciplinary experts, many with Indigenous backgrounds, identify the challenges and barriers to health equity. They also note innovation that can be used to develop solutions for enhancing health care systems and health status in this historically, politically, and culturally significant region. - Judith C. Kulig, Professor Emerita, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Lethbridge
