About this organization
Mission
Seattle Indian Health Board's mission is to advocate for, provide, and ensure culturally appropriate, high quality, and accessible health and human services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. In 1970, we opened our doors to provide accessible healthcare for urban Indians in Seattle as a free clinic. Today, we are a leader on community and public health, bringing high-quality, culturally attuned services to Native people throughout the Seattle area. Through our research division, Urban Indian Health Institute, we are one of 12 Tribal Epidemiology Centers - the only serving urban Indians nationwide - and a recognized leader in using public health data to advocate for Indigenous people in health policy. We envision a time when all Indian people have healthy and successful lives.
