We are excited to announce our upcoming virtual web series, “NCUIH UIO Focus Groups: Setting Policy Priorities for 2027.” This engaging event will offer a unique platform for collaborative dialogue between NCUIH staff and Urban Indian Organizations (UIOs). Together, we will delve into the heart of urban Native health initiatives, discussing the vital priorities shaping our efforts in 2027. The focus groups will also provide an invaluable opportunity to reflect on the achievements and challenges of 2026, fostering a deeper understanding of the progress made and the areas that require further attention. Participants will be encouraged to share their personal experiences, insights, and feedback, ensuring that the perspectives of our UIO partners play a pivotal role in shaping the path forward. This inclusive gathering promises to harness the collective wisdom of our community, driving impactful decisions that resonate across urban Indian health initiatives.
Invitations will be sent directly to UIO partners to encourage broad participation and meaningful engagement in these discussions.
