About me
Laura Salmon started her professional career in nutrition when she moved to the Yukon over 25 years ago. She is the Director of First Nations Health Programs (FNHP), and oversees a wide variety of Yukon Hospitals programs and services for Indigenous patients. She works with partners to ensure that the holistic health needs of self-identified patients are met by Yukon Hospitals. She also contributes to the planning and direction of corporate initiatives like Indigenization: transforming spaces, services, policies and programs with a focus on youth and the future of healthcare. Originally from the Nak’Azdli Wh’uten First Nation in BC, she is now a seasoned Yukoner and enjoys the changing seasons. She makes the most of the long winter with skiing and the long summer days with running and cycling.
