The purpose of the Center for Indigenous People, Health, & Nursing is to build respectful, collaborative relationships with Tribal Nations, health care and higher academic institutions, federal and state agencies; collaborate with community organizations; prepare Indigenous nurses with doctoral education; and develop evidence-based interventions and best practices with stakeholders to eradicate health disparities in Indigenous people and communities.
