Tribal Health
Indigenous communities are living through a healthcare crisis – one fueled by generational trauma, high rates of chronic disease, and underfunding.
Tribal Health revitalizes Native American health by connecting tribal and federal facilities to culturally intelligent practice management, advanced healthcare models, and onsite clinical education.
Stronger Tribal Facilities. Healthier Indigenous Communities.
Tribal Health helps Indigenous communities solve systemic healthcare barriers. We offer culturally responsive practice management and staffing across all specialties – and we develop process improvements that help hospitals get accredited and win the community’s trust. We also hire from within the communities we serve, increasing Indigenous representation in healthcare.
