Indian Health Service Facilities
The Indian Health Service (IHS) is a federal agency in the United States responsible for providing healthcare to American Indians and Alaska Natives. It operates hospitals, clinics, and health stations, often in rural or underserved areas. IHS facilities focus on preventive care, primary health services, and addressing specific health issues in Native communities. They aim to improve overall health outcomes and provide culturally appropriate care. IHS also collaborates with tribal governments to enhance health services and promote wellness within Native populations.
