We strive to improve the health and well-being of Indigenous peoples

We are dedicated to supporting and uplifting Indigenous communities by promoting better health, wellness, and access to quality care. Through culturally informed programs and community-driven initiatives, we aim to empower individuals, preserve traditional knowledge, and create lasting positive change for future generations.

Indigenous Healthcare Advancements is a collective of people and resources aligned around the shared mission of advancing education and delivery of healthcare services for Indigenous peoples.

With more than two decades of experience developing relationships with tribal leaders and healthcare experts, managing healthcare systems, and connecting traditional medicine with current healthcare practices, we support tribes in delivering innovative and trusted care in their communities.

We honor and fully support Tribal self-determination and self-governance. We specialize in working with Tribes with a 638 compact with the Federal Government.  For Tribes interested in delivering their own healthcare, we can support understanding feasibility and strategic development of a right-sized self-determination pathway, all the way to implementation.
