Summary
In Canada, Indigenous populations are at higher risk for heart disease and stroke, and often have less access to health care as well as information about their risks and how to manage them. The systemic racism that has historically impacted Indigenous communities has trickle-down effects, and Indigenous people still face access barriers to healthcare today. In this episode, we hear the story of Lynne Marie Sherry, with the help of her daughter Shawnee Kish. After Lynne’s high blood pressure went largely untreated, she experienced a devastating stroke. While recovering, she was unable to access the traditional spiritual care she needed. Dr. Bernice Downey, a medical anthropologist and Indigenous Health Lead in the Faculty of Health Science at McMaster University, discusses the larger systemic issues facing Indigenous communities in the healthcare system. And she finds hope in the ways that Indigenous communities are working together to reclaim their own health and well-being.

The surprising heart-brain connection
Release Date: 05/02/2023
Authors: [email protected] (Heart And Stroke Foundation of Canada )
Description: Your heart and brain are deeply interconnected. So, if you experience a heart condition or stroke, both your heart and brain can potentially be affected. Despite this, the Canadian medical system remains siloed, resulting in missed diagnoses and opportunities for prevention. Listen to this episode of The Beat as we dive into the unexpected heart-brain connection... We hear from Kelly, who experienced chest pain for 15 years before having two strokes, leading doctors to diagnose her with a dangerous heart condition. We also hear from Patrice Lindsay, Director of Health Systems at Heart &Stroke, who explains how the Canadian healthcare system must adapt in order to provide better care.
