Short Abstract:

The Healthy Indian Country Initiative (HICI): a U.S. Health and Human Services Department project, channeled through the Association of American Indians Physicians (AIIP) which is aimed at improving the situation of our Indian brothers and sisters. Among many things, this project identifies the need to create an accessible, resource and knowledge database of successful programs that can be replicated to other tribal and urban communities.

Short Abstract:

Quarter one has been an exciting, challenging and interesting time for NCUIH. During the months of summer we worked, among other things, towards educating US policy makers to reauthorize funding for the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, published our first newsletter and started working on a Knowledge Map, the purpose of which is to gain as much understanding of what is known (Indian clinical knowledge, scholarly articles, clinical reports and UIHP partnerships) about urban Indian health. All of these duties which will be explored in greater detail in this report have contributed significantly to the organization, its output and ability to be a true representative of urban Indian health.

While the report doesnt set up a chronological timeline of events, it is intended to be informative of NCUIHs scope of work through detailed descriptions of our accomplishments, the challenges weve been faced with and our general, ongoing work from July through October.
