Community Health Navigator
Mosaic Primary Care Network · Calgary, AB
I work as a Community Health Navigator in a research partnership between Mosaic Primary Care Network, which serves northeast and southeast communities in Calgary, and the University of Calgary.
Although my role is not exclusively working with newcomers, these areas of the city are a common choice for newcomers and refugees to settle. Our program helps all who need assistance navigating the health care system. I have also done extensive volunteer work with newcomer serving agencies.
The most valuable thing I learned in the N4/Saint Paul University Online Program
I enjoyed the coaching circles, which were part of the practicum. They were facilitated in a unique way which often resulted in personal reflection and new understandings. I feel like I gained a greater understanding of historical and modern social and community conflict and the ways in which our systems can be designed in ways that fail those they should be helping. The communication course had many valuable learnings.
