Strengthening American Indian Health
Expanding access to stable, high-quality, American Indian-led public health and health care.
American Indian Tribes have built some of the highest performing, most effective health systems in the United States. We support American Indian-led solutions, and we build all our strategies and programs in partnership with Tribes, urban Indian health centers, and American Indian-led organizations.
We support health improvement projects in every Tribe and urban Indian health center in the state.
We facilitate collaboration through meetings and site visits to leading American Indian programs.
We have funded Tribes and Urban Indian health centers to plan and start new primary care services, school wellness centers, maternal-child health programs, and other health care and public health services.
We have provided 125 grants and contracts with $5.3 million to date.
Initiatives
In collaboration with Tribes and urban Indian health centers, we developed three strategic initiatives:
Reducing American Indian Health Disparities
Improving health and well-being for American Indian people in Montana.
Supporting American Indian Health Governance & Leadership
Giving American Indian health leaders a platform to establish plans for improving their communities
