Welcome to Noongwa Wellness
A place for health, shaped by the land. Rooted in who we are.
Noongwa Wellness is a new primary care clinic at Neyaashiinigmiing servicing the Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.
We are building a space close to home — grounded in community, land, and Anishinaabe values. While our doors are not yet open, we invite you to join us on this journey to create a place of healing and connection.
Model of Wholistic Health and Wellbeing
Our care is guided by the Model of Wholistic Health and Wellbeing developed by the Indigenous Primary Health Care Council. This approach embraces physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness — with culture at the heart of healing. This model will shape every program and service we offer.
Rooted in Community, Culture, and Connection
Noongwa Wellness is more than a clinic — it is a space shaped by the land and our values, where health and belonging come together.
By joining our patient community now, you’ll:
-
Receive updates as we grow
-
Be among the first to access services when we open
Our Team
Our goal is to provide culturally safe, place-based primary care that grows with the needs of our clients.

Capital Campaign
Honouring culture, advancing health, shaping the future.
Noongwa Wellness is opening its doors this fall with interim services, but our long-term vision reaches far beyond today. We are working toward the creation of an Indigenous-owned and operated Integrative Health Building and Learning Network—a place where culture, community, and care come together to serve generations to come.
Our Capital Campaign is the pathway to making this vision a reality. With your support, we will build a space that:
-
Honours and strengthens Indigenous culture and traditions
-
Advances health sovereignty and self-determination
-
Supports Mino Bimaadiziwin—the good life—for all who enter
This is more than a building; it is an investment in the health and well-being of future generations.
