Native American Health Services

Native American Health Services encompass a variety of healthcare programs and resources specifically designed to meet the needs of Native American populations. These services are often managed or supported by federal, state, and tribal governments, addressing issues like physical health, mental health, and substance abuse. They aim to provide culturally relevant care and improve overall health outcomes. Challenges include funding limitations, accessibility, and disparities in health compared to the general population. The Indian Health Service (IHS) is a key federal agency responsible for delivering these healthcare services to Native Americans across the United States.
