Renewed gift strengthens Indigenous health learning and research at Queen’s – Queen’s University
February 3, 2026
A renewed gift will sustain the Chair, Indigenous Health at Queen’s Health Sciences (QHS) for another five years, continuing work that has had a lasting impact on students across the faculty.
Dr. Nancy Tatham, Artsci’86, Artsci’00, and her partner, Donna Henderson, have made an additional gift of $1.5 million to support the Chair. The new funding builds on their original $1-million gift, made in 2021, which established the Chair and helped advance Indigenous health scholarship and Indigenous ways of knowing.
The Chair is housed within the Office of Indigenous Health at QHS. It plays a key role in facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration across the faculty and supporting learners at every stage – from undergraduate and graduate studies through to professional development. This renewed gift helps ensure that work continues, while reinforcing Indigenous health as an ongoing priority.
