Developing a Community-Led Course to Help Newcomers Navigate the Healthcare System in Newfoundland and Labrador
This project will study how a special healthcare guidance program helps immigrants in Newfoundland and Labrador gain better access to doctors and medical services. Many newcomers face language barriers, system complexity, and cultural differences when accessing healthcare, which can make it harder for them to remain productive, maintain employment or stay in the province. Our interns will help test this program by talking to participants, conducting surveys, and examining whether better healthcare access improves labour market outcomes (higher job stability, less absenteeism, and higher retention).
By introducing this new program into NL, the CNIW Foundation can expand its successful Ontario program nationwide, identify best practices to help immigrants stay healthy and employed and create a replicable model that could be used across Canada.
