Absolutely. We actually pay them on a payroll. We view them as part of and in alignment with primary care. We hold them as valued as your doctors, nurses and NPs. That's where we hold ours.
Similar to.... I'm sorry, I'm missing the name of the previous speaker. We also fund our navigators. We call them “natural helpers”. Any time somebody goes out into a medical situation or as an escort, we will help give an actual honorarium to that individual per day, because they're there in a helper role. We also recognize the importance.
As you mentioned, the spirit is important. If we don't take care of that spirit, that is the way we do it as a community. That is part of our foundational teachings. A lot of us as Inuit people share that, so we recognize that. We're absolutely willing to share any policies and procedures we have about that with anybody who is interested.
