Tribal Epidemiology Centers

Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs) are organizations that focus on improving health outcomes for American Indian and Alaska Native communities. They collect and analyze data on health issues specific to these populations, addressing concerns such as diseases, access to healthcare, and public health challenges. TECs provide support through research, education, and resources, helping tribes make informed decisions to enhance health services and policies. Their work ensures that the unique health needs and cultural considerations of tribal communities are recognized and addressed effectively.
