What is the Native Health Initiative?

The Native Health Initaitve (NHI) is a partnership to address health inequities through loving service. We currently have 4 projects, in NC, NM, CA, and CT.

We are the only American Indian (AI) partnership in the U.S. that is run by Tribes working with health professions students. Other unique apects to our partnership

•  Health projects created and driven by Tribal communities
• 95% funded by loving service and only 5% monteray donations 
• Community members and volunteers share of their cultures  
• Communities empower their youth to realize their heritage, their potential, and their power to become leaders
• No room for negativity, but we always recognize there is room for improvement
