Urban Indian Initiative

The Washington State Department of Health is committed to improving the health outcomes of Urban American Indian and Alaska Native communities in Washington State.

As part of the Community-Driven Outreach program, DOH is currently partnered with four community-rooted Urban Indian organizations located throughout the state who have projects aimed at ameliorating COVID-19-related health disparities.

Additionally, DOH has partnered with the Seattle Indian Health Board to pilot a data equity project that promotes Indigenous health and data sovereignty.
