Tribal Health Programs
Tribal Health Programs are healthcare initiatives designed to meet the specific needs of Indigenous communities in the United States. These programs aim to provide comprehensive medical services, including preventive care, mental health support, and substance abuse treatment, often through facilities operated by the Indian Health Service (IHS) or tribal organizations.
These programs focus on culturally appropriate care, recognizing the unique traditions and values of each tribe. They also work to address health disparities faced by Indigenous populations, promoting wellness and improving access to healthcare services in rural and underserved areas.
