Tribal Health Departments

Tribal Health Departments are organizations that provide healthcare services to Native American and Alaska Native communities, often managed by the tribes themselves. They work to improve health, prevent disease, and promote wellness, addressing unique cultural and community needs. These departments operate within tribal governments or alongside federal agencies like the Indian Health Service, ensuring access to medical care, public health programs, and health education tailored to their populations. Their goal is to support the health and well-being of their members while respecting cultural traditions and practices.
