Together, we address the most pressing health challenges facing Indian Country, from chronic disease prevention to behavioral health support and beyond. This partnership ensures our work is grounded in the expertise and unique perspectives of those who live and serve in these regions.
Our Board of Directors is composed of representatives chosen by these Member Organizations. This structure ensures that our decision-making reflects the priorities and voices of Tribal communities.
Each Member Organization brings deep knowledge of the needs and opportunities within their IHS Area. Their work, rooted in local experience, drives innovative solutions and effective public health programs across Indian Country.
