## Resource

Twenty-four Indigenous communities across Quebec are now connected to a groundbreaking telehealth initiative from CHUM hospital, designed to tackle substance use disorders with culturally tailored care. Called CATS, the program bridges patients, hospital staff, and local providers without replacing existing services, instead building on trusted relationships. Recognizing that each community is unique, the team crafts customized pathways to meet specific cultural and health needs. Early results show strong patient engagement, though demand has outpaced capacity—prioritizing urgent cases like overdoses while managing wait times. This marks a shift toward collaborative, patient-centered care, proving that innovation thrives when it listens and adapts. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
