Tribal Public Health
Tribal Public Health provides a range of programs and services, designed to protect, and improve the health outcomes of local American Indian and Alaska Native individuals, families, and communities. The planning and implementation of all work within Tribal Public Health is guided by the cultural, traditional values and practices of American Indians and Alaska Natives, allowing us to meet the unique needs of those we service. We work collaboratively with other divisions within United Indian Health Services, Inc. (UIHS) as well as with tribes, tribal/non-tribal organizations and programs, and other local health, state, and federal departments to bring wellness to our tribal communities.
