We help Tribes improve access to health care throughout Indian Country. We engage with Tribes, Tribal organizations and people interested in finding funding to support Tribal communities, including through Tribal Consultations and listening sessions.
A Tribal Consultation is a dialogue between Federal and Tribal governments. The goal of the consultation is to advance the government-to-government relationship between HRSA and Indian Tribes.
We get the chance to engage with Tribal governments. Together, we promote the government-to-government relationship between HRSA and Tribal Nations and address health care challenges in Indian Country.
