General Description
Location
釔п悑釔羔挘釕敟釕愥悆 (Whapmagoostui) is located on the James Bay coast at the mouth of the Great Whale River. It is a unique community as it is a bicultural community of Inuit and Cree. The Cree community is called 釔п悑釔羔挘釕敟釕愥悆 (where there are whales, in the Cree language) and The Inuit one is called Kuujjuarapik (the small, large river). The community has a population made up of 1100 Cree and 650 Inuit, for a total of over 1,700. The clinic is divided in two and operates independently of each other. The Inuit Clinic is administered by the Innulitsivik Health Care while the Cree Clinic is administered by the Cree Board of Health and Social Services of James Bay. Trainees are trained almost exclusively on the Cree side of the Whapmagoostui Community Miyupimaatisiiun Centre (CMC).
