Reclaiming Our Health 2025: A Powerful Beginning
We are filled with gratitude and inspiration as we reflect on the inaugural Reclaiming Our Health: Black Voices and Vision for Well-being in Canada, which took place yesterday, October 15, 2025.
Convened by BioInsight DNA & Blood Services Inc., this groundbreaking event brought together community leaders, health professionals, researchers, artists, and advocates from across the country to center Black voices in conversations about health, healing, and systemic change. It was a day of truth-telling, connection, learning, and vision-building — one that marked the beginning of an ongoing journey toward equity and well-being for Black communities in Canada.
Thank You to Our Speakers
To our incredible speakers: Thank you. Your honesty, expertise, and vision lit the path forward. Whether sharing lived experiences, community-driven solutions, or evidence-based insights, your contributions made this event unforgettable. Your voices reminded us not only of the challenges we face, but also of the power we hold — individually and collectively — to reclaim our health and our futures.
What’s Next
Yesterday was only the beginning. We're already looking ahead with excitement to the next Reclaiming Our Health gathering in 2026. We hope to continue building this movement, deepening our networks, and amplifying the wisdom and leadership of Black communities across Canada.
If you joined us this year, thank you for being part of history. If you missed it — don’t worry. Stay connected and join us next year as we grow this space together.
Until then, let's continue to uplift each other, challenge systems, and reimagine what well-being can look like when we lead with care, courage, and community.

About us
It all began with a simple idea that there are too many of us working in silos.
Reclaiming Our Health is an initiative designed to highlight and address the unique health experiences of Black Canadians. This event is a collaboration between community leaders, healthcare professionals, and organizations like BioInsight DNA & Blood Services Inc., a company committed to advancing personalized healthcare solutions.
BioInsight DNA & Blood Services Inc. plays a key role in bringing diagnostic blood and DNA services directly to patients and practitioners, ensuring accessible, accurate, and timely healthcare insights. Their mission aligns with the event’s goal to foster a more inclusive, culturally aware healthcare system that better meets the needs of diverse communities and practitioners.
Through this event, we aim to create a platform for open dialogue, raise awareness of health disparities, and promote strategies that empower Black Canadians to take charge of their well-being. Join us as we come together to share knowledge, build connections, and inspire positive change in healthcare.
Sharing our insights
The healthcare system in Canada is in crisis. The shortage of primary care physicians and other healthcare providers has created a snowball effect in terms of access to care. Black communities, racialized communities, and Black health practitioners, have been disproportionately impacted.
