First Nations Community Partnerships

Working together to improve outcomes for mob affected by blood cancer

Improving outcomes for First Nations people affected by blood cancer starts with strong relationships — grounded in trust, respect, and shared purpose. Many people in community have never heard of stem cell donation or the registry, yet when given clear, credible, and culturally safe information, interest in becoming a donor is strong.

We know that caring for mob and family is at the heart of every community, and that’s what drives this work. By working together, we can make sure every First Nations patient who needs a stem cell transplant has the best chance of finding their life-saving match.

Our approach is community-led. We focus on:

  • Education and awareness delivered through trusted community spaces like ACCHOs and AMSs

  • Engaging Elders, families and community leaders first, to build understanding and cultural permission

  • Partnerships that make information and support available where people already go for care and connection

  • Storytelling and social media to reach younger audiences, share lived experiences, and build awareness over time

Together, we can strengthen understanding, build trust, and create better outcomes for First Nations people and families affected by blood cancer.
