History
When Kahnawà:ke’s health and social services organizations came into being, they evolved individually with distinct unique mandates.
As these entities developed, situations arose that were not in any specific organization’s mandate and were more global or community-wide in nature. Thus, resulted in a lack of responsibility and accountability for addressing these global issues.
The community then decided to form this agency to specifically address these global issues that transcend any one particular organization’s mandate, as well as to foster collaboration amongst all health and social service organizations in Kahnawake.
