As an Indigenous owned and operated health services company, First Canadian Health (FCH) is committed to the delivery of knowledgeable, culturally-relevant expertise.

FCH is a partner of Express Scripts Canada (ESC) in supporting the nation-wide extended health, dental, and pharmaceutical claims processing service for the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) Program through Indigenous Services Canada. As FCH is a subsidiary of the Tribal Councils Investment Group of Manitoba Ltd., FCH can ensure that the financial benefits of this contract flow back to First Nations communities, and that our hiring practices reflect the same.

FCH is open to new opportunities and partnerships, that allow us the opportunity to marry our expertise in the health field, processing operations, and operations management, to our desire to provide excellent service that also benefits the Indigenous community.

Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada 1997 upon the initial awarding of the NIHB contract to First Canadian Health Management Corp.

I am pleased that the awarding of this contract will create jobs and economic growth in Aboriginal communities. Today’s investments are tomorrow’s dividends. Doing business with Aboriginal peoples is good business and strong alliances between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people benefits all Canadians.
