The Directory of French-speaking
health providers in Newfoundland and Labrador is an inventory of
health care professionals willing and able to provide health care
services in French. This initiative was undertaken by the French
Language Health Services Network of Newfoundland and Labrador (FLHSN)
in collaboration with the Fédération des francophones de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador
(FFTNL), Health Canada and the provincial Department of Health and
Community Services.
The network’s mandate is to support and
develop French health care planning in all regions where health
authorities wish to improve health care access for the minority
Francophone communities of the province.
Health Care access is traditionally looked
at in terms of waiting times or distance, but can also be affected by
social and cultural factors such as wealth, gender, education and
language. All health care professionals willing and able to provide
services in French are asked to consider participating in this
initiative by answering just a few questions on a form that can be found
on the Fédération des
francophones de Terre-Neuve et du Labrador web site. Forms may also be completed
and returned by fax to (709) 722-9904 or mail to: Réseau santé en Français Centre scolaire
et communautaire Des Grands-Vents 65, Ridge Road, 2ème étage, bureau 233,
Saint Jean TNL, A1B 4P5
