About the TPHC

WALKING TOGETHER

Each year, we walk together in the face of adversity as we navigate policy, health disparities, economic burdens, and social inequity. Each year lifts us up, pulls us down, propels us forward and holds us back… but we continue to remain resilient, gaining ground, because we truly believe in the work we do and carry with us the passion and desire to lift our communities and our Native people to healing and prosperity.

We embrace cross-sectoral, interdisciplinary, and inter-jurisdictional collaborative frameworks in order to wholly address health disparities. We walk together as one with our tribes, and are honored to join together with our state, federal, and local community partners to find solutions to each year’s tribal public health challenges.

Whether through small or great efforts, we are all called to serve and we will continue that servanthood with all of our talented and amazing partners in Indian Country to honor the past, navigate the present, and to prepare for the next seven generations.
