How We help

PCHS Calgary’s Integrated Holistic Service Delivery Model incorporates a foundational understanding of the differences between South Asian and Western cultures which impact the delivery of social and health care services. This model recognizes South Asian cultural norms of defining illness, acknowledging social problems and seeking resolution, and leverages these to deliver services in a culturally appropriate manner.

PCHS Calgary acknowledges that we inhabit this land as a settler and are aware that the land rightfully belongs to the various First Nations of Canada. We are grateful for the land, air and water that we live on as settlers. Land is all that we are, where the relationship between the land and the cosmos — inclusive of the sky, sun and stars — is crucial in shaping who we become. Essentially, what we do on the land, and our relationship with it, is who we are. For this reason, we honor and remember this relationship in recognition of the Indigenous people who’s land we live on.

PCHS Calgary acknowledges the traditional and ancestral territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy: Kainai, Piikani and Siksika as well as the Tsuu T’ina Nation and Stoney Nakoda First Nation. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis Homeland. We acknowledge the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have lived in and cared for these lands for generations. We are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are still with us today and those who have gone before us.
