The health of the James Bay Cree of Quebec reflects their history and environment. Their ancestors were living in Northern Quebec for centuries before the Europeans arrived bringing new infectious diseases and developing a health-care structure that has relegated traditional Cree medicine to the background. The James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement of 1975 led to the creation of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services under the Quebec Ministry of Health. Various changes have resulted in the eight Cree villages over the past 15 years, both in the socio-economic situation and in the health status of the Cree. Improvements in health will come about through increased participation of Native people in the delivery and control of health services, more accessible health services, and the creation of healthy and health-promoting environments.
魁北克詹姆斯湾克里族的健康状况反映了他们的历史和环境。在欧洲人到来之前，他们的祖先已在魁北克北部生活了几个世纪，欧洲人带来了新的传染病，并建立了一种医疗保健结构，将传统的克里族医学置于次要地位。1975年的《詹姆斯湾和魁北克北部协议》促成了在魁北克卫生部下属设立克里族卫生和社会服务委员会。在过去15年里，克里族的八个村庄在社会经济状况和健康状况方面都发生了各种变化。通过让原住民更多地参与医疗服务的提供和管理、提供更便捷的医疗服务以及营造健康和促进健康的环境，健康状况将会得到改善。
