KHSC is one of six locations in the region selected to participate in the initiative which recognizes and celebrates Indigenous worldviews of health.
New Indigenous artwork is on display at Kingston Health Science Centre.
Three new pieces of art have been commissioned as part of the Indigenous Spaces and Places in Health Care Initiative.
The initiative is a collaborative effort led by the Frontenac, Lennox & Addington Ontario Health Team, Kingston Community Health Centres, and Three Things Consulting.
In a news release, KHSC is one of six locations in the region selected to participate in the initiative.
Indigenous artists from Tyendinaga, Napanee and Kingston were engaged to create artwork that will be installed in several health-care locations across the region.
Each piece includes teaching, or information to help improve health equity.
They say it recognizes and celebrates Indigenous worldviews of health and aims to build relationships with local Indigenous artists, knowledge keepers and Elders.
The artwork will be displayed in prominent areas across both Kingston General and Hotel Dieu hospitals.
