Welcome To Our Health Section!

In this section you will be able to access all of our health promotion/education and disease prevention pages. In our attempt to reach our main target audience of American Indians, we have created each page as a fact sheet, which appears to be the preferred method of health education/information among this population.

As with any health concern you may have: please, please check with your health care provider first before beginning a new course of treatment. Our health facts are strictly for information only and we do not side with any particular theory of medicine for the purposes of this website.
