COVID-19 in Indian Country
“Including advance appropriations for Indian health in the omnibus is a historic moment for Indian Country over a decade in the making,” said William Smith, Chairman of the National Indian Health Board.
"Today is a historic day for the Indian Health Service," said Director Roselyn Tso.
The National Council of Urban Indian Health presented testimony on behalf of urban Indian organizations at two hearings on Capitol Hill.
“We must stop being ok, blasé’ and indifferent to keeping American Indians last in health care opportunity,” said Stacy Bohlen of the National Indian Health Board.
The fiscal year 2023 budget proposal includes $9.1 billion in mandatory funding for the Indian Health Service for the first year.
