The Inuulitsivik Health Centre (IHC) is an organization that provides health and social services to its population of seven Hudson Bay communities, for more than 30 years. To serve its Inuit population spread over a vast territory, the IHC has seven facilities in the following communities: Salluit, Ivujivik, Akulivik, Puvirnituq, Inukjuak, Umiujaq, and Kuujjuaraapik. Our mission is to improve the overall health, well-being, and living conditions of communities through contributions of primary care and services, short-term hospital services, and long-term care housing. The IHC also offers youth protection services. In addition, the IHC promotes the success of Inuit people in accessing and maintaining jobs within its organization. The IHC also coordinates the provision of specialized services in Montreal, thanks to its new facility named ULLIVIK, that houses users who must attend Montreal’s McGill RUIS institutions.
