Tribal Health Programs

Tribal Health Programs are healthcare initiatives designed specifically for Native American communities. They are often funded and operated by the Indian Health Service (IHS), a federal agency, alongside tribal governments. These programs aim to provide comprehensive medical services, including preventive care, mental health support, and substance abuse treatment, to improve health outcomes and address the unique needs of Indigenous populations. By focusing on culturally relevant care and community involvement, Tribal Health Programs work to reduce health disparities and empower tribes to manage their health resources effectively.
