Director of IHS in South Dakota for tribal consultation session

Thursday, March 24, 2011  

Yvette Roubideaux, the director of the Indian Health Service, is in South Dakota to meet with tribes and hold a consultation session.

Roubideaux, a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, met with the Great Plains Tribal Chairman's Association to discuss care in the Aberdeen Area. The Senate Indian Affairs Committee issued a report late last year that described mismanagement and other problems in the area.

Today, Roubideaux is leading a consultation session to ask tribes about the budget and other concerns.
