Speaker Biography:
Dr. Cassandra Felske-Durksen is a GP with the Alberta Health Services Indigenous Wellness Program and her home clinic is the Indigenous Wellness Clinic located at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in ᐊᒥᐢᑿᒌᐚᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ (settler Edmonton). She has admitting and consulting privileges at Royal Alexandra Hospital and Lois Hole Hospital for Women. Likewise, she does outreach to community (both downtown and surrounding Nations) and has done prenatal visits all over the zone, meeting patients where they’re at, literally!

Cass was trained as a full service rural and remote GP with the University of British Columbia’s Indigenous Family Practice Site. Her area of clinical interest is reproductive and sexual health within oppressed populations and genocide survivors. Believing strongly in partnership, she works closely with patients, families, community, and outpatient and inpatient settings to facilitate continuity of comprehensive trauma informed, healing centered and culturally driven care.
