Stoney Health Services

What Stoney Health Services does

Stoney Health Services is a nonprofit community healthcare organization founded in 1987 and based in Mînî Thnî (Morley), Alberta. It serves members of the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney First Nations through primary and community care, mental health and social work, dental, pharmacy, laboratory, X-ray, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, optometry, home care, transportation, harm reduction, diabetes, nutrition, recovery, early childhood, youth, and family support services. The organization reports 11–50 employees, and no revenue is publicly disclosed.

Its principal operating asset is the Stoney Health Centre. The facility doubled to nearly 18,000 sq ft when it opened on November 22, 2023, adding eight exam rooms, a dedicated triage room, full X-ray and clinic laboratory services, four counseling rooms, modernized dental and optometry clinics, an IV room, pharmacy assessment space, bathing and foot-care rooms, and dedicated cultural rooms for smudging and traditional healing. Space was also allocated for a future community dialysis room. These are primarily physical care-delivery assets; no API, proprietary AI model, or AI or machine-learning modality is documented, while portal.stoneyhealth.com provides a member account-access channel.

The organization is funded primarily through public programs rather than conventional user fees. Indigenous Services Canada is the principal funding source, Alberta Health Services supports specified provincial programs, and the federal Non-Insured Health Benefit Program covers eligible dental services; fitness-centre access is free to the community. Its community-led go-to-market model relies on direct delivery through the Mînî Thnî health centre, mobile and community outreach, partner organizations, local events, social media, and email communications, with service delivery coordinated with tribal administration and First Nations leadership.

Broad incumbents

• Alberta Health Services: The provincial health authority for Alberta that funds and coordinates health service delivery across the province. Stoney Health Services partners with AHS to deliver COVID-19 vaccination and public health programs; AHS serves as the broader incumbent health system within which SHS operates.
• First Nations Health Authority (FNHA): British Columbia's provincial First Nations health authority, established in 2013, which delivers and funds health programs for Indigenous communities across BC. Significantly larger in scope than Stoney Health Services but operates on the same First Nations health authority model with federal-provincial funding.

Regional players

• Blackfoot Confederacy Health Alliance: An Alberta-based Indigenous health alliance serving Blackfoot First Nations communities in Treaty 7 territory. Operates as a regional peer providing health services coordination for southern Alberta Indigenous communities with similar federal funding and cultural integration.
• Treaty 7 Health Alliance: An Indigenous health organization coordinating health services for Treaty 7 First Nations in southern Alberta, the same treaty territory as the Stoney Nakoda Nations. Comparable regional Indigenous health governance and service coordination role.

Direct peers

• Big Horn Health Services: Long-term Stoney Health Services CEO Aaron Khan transitioned full-time to Big Horn Health Services in January 2026, indicating a comparable First Nations health organization serving an Alberta Indigenous community. Both deliver community-centered primary care, allied health, and cultural programming under similar federal Indigenous Services Canada funding structures.
• Sioux Lookout First Nations Health Authority (SLFNHA): A First Nations health authority in northern Ontario serving 33 First Nations communities with a comparable model of integrated community health services, primary care, mental health, and cultural programming. SLFNHA operates under a similar federally-funded mandate to deliver health services to Indigenous communities.
• Vancouver Native Health Society: An Indigenous community health organization in Vancouver offering primary care, dental, mental health, and cultural programming to urban Indigenous populations. Comparable operating model combining clinical services with culturally grounded care.
• Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA): A community-based Indigenous health authority serving communities along the James Bay/Hudson Bay coast in Ontario. WAHA delivers integrated hospital, long-term care, and community health services to First Nations populations under a similar Indigenous-governed model.
• Anishnawbe Health Toronto: An Indigenous health services organization in Toronto providing primary care, mental health, traditional healing, dental, and community programs to urban Indigenous populations. Operates a similar integrated Western and traditional healing model serving First Nations communities.

Others

• Indigenous Services Canada: The federal department that is Stoney Health Services' primary funder under the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch. Not a peer in service delivery but the central ecosystem relationship that enables SHS operations through NIHB and community health funding.
