Introduction
Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences with Northern Health (NH). This survey will help us understand how we can improve Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA) across our region. Your responses will directly inform our three-year IDEA strategy and annual action plans.
Content Warning
This survey includes questions about personal experiences related to inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility. Some topics may involve sensitive issues such as discrimination, barriers to care, or exclusion. These questions are intended to help us understand and address challenges within our communities.
Your participation is voluntary, and you may skip any question you do not wish to answer. If at any point you feel uncomfortable, you can stop the survey. All responses will remain confidential and will only be used to inform strategies that promote equity and inclusion.
If you need support or have concerns, please contact idea@northernhealth.ca.
