Wednesday, April 7, 2021
Native Americans are suffering a disproportionate toll from COVID-19. That’s in addition to long-standing health disparities when it comes to diabetes, heart disease, addiction and many other health threats.
Some Native health organizations are taking on the huge task of closing the health equity gap and ensuring Native people encounter no disadvantages when it comes to access.
For World Health Day, Native American Calling will take a look at how historical health disparities inform current and future efforts to achieve health equity.
