Annual health summit helps tribes address disparities | |
With a growing elder population, tribal communities can benefit from local health data to better understand the disparities their communities face and decide how to address them. However, some Native communities have difficulty accessing the data they need. | |
As exemplified by the annual Kansas Tribal Health Summit, tribes can partner with each other and local organizations to fill gaps in their data. Through the Kansas Tribal Health Summit, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, and Sac and Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska partner with each other and nonprofit organizations, such as the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board, to build their health data. |
