Citizens living with a chronic health condition or disability on traditional territory can access the Meals on Wheels program which provides three nutrition meals per week.
Community Luncheon Program
Open to the community, Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays from noon – 1pm between September and May. Cost is $5, or $50 for a 10 punch pass. Free on Fridays.
Home & Community Care
TH Home care program supports Citizens to safely live in their homes as they age. H&CC also provide temporary home support needs (i.e. post surgery), respite for family caregivers, and end of life care for Citizens and their families. H&CC supports Citizens to access healthcare, and coordinates home care supports and equipment through both Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and Yukon Government programs.
Medical Escorts
Eligible citizens travelling for medical reasons but without a prescribed medical escort can apply to the TH Wellness Department for assistance. An Auxiliary On-Call Driver will be identified, but only in rare instances when family or friends are unavailable to act as an escort. Assistance will be based on Yukon NIHB rates even if the citizen is travelling from point to point in a district outside of the Yukon.
