Jordan River Anderson lived in a hospital for over two years basically because levels of government could not agree for his at-home care once he was released and he died in hospital at the age of five.
Jordan River Anderson was a young boy from Norway House Cree Nation in Manitoba born in 1999 with multiple disabilities and the need for complex medical care. On this week’s edition of Qalipu Today, Brigette White from Qalipu First Nations spoke about her role as the Jordan’s Principle Service Coordinator. She says Jordan lived in a hospital for over two years basically because levels of government could not agree for his at-home care once he was released and he died in hospital at the age of five. Jordan’s death ignited a movement to uphold human rights for all First Nations children through the creation of the child-first proposition called “Jordan’s Principle." White says her role is help families connect with available services through Jordan’s Principle, help with the application process, and send off the request. White says people are invited to the Qalipu First Nations community room this Friday between 2-4 to learn more about Jordan’s Principle.
