Vancouver, BC – [August 29th, 2024] – Qi Integrated Health, a leader in integrative healthcare, is proud to announce a new partnership with Three Corners Health Services Society. This collaboration will provide naturopathic services to the Northern Secwépemc community of this area at the Three Corners Health Services office in Williams Lake, BC, starting in September 2024.
This partnership is a significant step in expanding holistic healthcare access to the Northern Secwépemc people, aligning with both organizations' missions to blend traditional and contemporary practices. Qi Integrated Health’s dedicated team will offer naturopathic services three days per month, providing integrative support to clients of all ages and abilities.

“We could not be more excited about this collaboration with Qi Integrated Health, and for the opportunity to bring these amazing practitioners in to support our clients. Naturopathic care is powerfully aligned with traditional Indigenous methods that emphasize supporting the body’s natural intelligence to facilitate healing and a holistic view on both illness and health, and we know that our community members will benefit enormously from such support. Kukstémc.” – Lori Sellars, Executive Director of Three Corners Health Services Society
The partnership will also include regular meetings between the health professionals and representatives from both organizations to reflect on challenges faced by the community, the opportunities available to them, and best practices. These meetings will ensure that the services provided are responsive to the community's needs and are delivered in the most effective manner.
“I am incredibly excited about the opportunity to work with three corners. For me, it's an opportunity to provide an important service to a community in need. I'm also eager to learn from the indigenous community in the ways that their Traditions have offered Health and Wellness to their people.” - Dr Samantha Petrin, Naturopathic Doctor at Qi Integrated Health
