Country food for women in the maternity ward

Our women have always known how best to support each other through pregnancy and birthing. Niqituinnaq (country food) is at the heart of a healthy pregnancy and baby growth. For Siqinirmiut, it can be hard have access to nourishing food from the north that we so need during pregnancy. This program supplies cooked country foods to the Birthing Centre at the MUHC Glen hospital site. There is a refrigerator for Indigenous patients on the ** floor. We also visit with the women and make sure they have what they need for once they go back home from the hospital.
