Urban Indian Health Programs

Urban Indian Health Programs are healthcare services specifically designed to meet the needs of Native Americans living in cities. They provide culturally respectful medical care, preventive services, and health education, helping improve health outcomes within urban Indigenous communities. Funded mainly by the Indian Health Service, these programs aim to reduce health disparities, offer access to care close to where people live, and support the preservation of Native health traditions. They play a vital role in ensuring urban Native Americans receive comprehensive, culturally competent healthcare.
