Community Health Worker
Multicultural Health Brokers Cooperative · Edmonton, AB

Hanan Shami

I am a Community Health Worker and a leader. Born in Canada but grew up in Rama Village, in the Upper Galilee of Israel/Palestine. I have 10 years of experience in cross cultural work with newcomers and Arab refugees.

As a cultural broker serving my community, I work by linking and mediating between immigrant newcomers, health and social services by accessing services and resources that empower and help their integration into Canada. Applying to the National Newcomer Navigation Network (N4) program, I was seeking continuous education in learning about how this Newcomer Navigator project relates to my work as a Community Health Worker.

The most valuable thing I learned in the N4/Saint Paul University Online Program

The program as a whole was most valuable to learn about; it helped deepen my understanding of the importance of my role in the Canadian health and social settlement through equalizing power imbalances and identifying disparities; being aware of those gaps assists me in promoting equity, justice and mutual learning and transformation.
