Established by Tribes to advocate as the united voice of federally recognized Tribes on healthcare and trust obligation.
About us
The National Health Board (NIHB) is a 501(c) 3 not for profit, charitable organization providing health care advocacy services, facilitating Tribal budget consultation and providing timely information and other services to all Tribal Governments. Whether Tribes operate their own health care delivery systems through contracting and compacting or receive health care directly from the Indian Health Services (IHS), NIHB is their advocate. Because the NIHB serves all federally-recognized tribes, it is important that the work of the NIHB reflect the unity and diversity of Tribal values and opinions in an accurate, fair, and culturally-sensitive manner. The NIHB is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of representatives elected by the Tribes in each of the twelve IHS Areas. Each Area Health Board elects a representative and an alternate to sit on the NIHB Board of Directors.

Earlier today, the federal government entered its first shutdown in nearly seven years. However, thanks to advance appropriations, IHS will continue to operate – a historic first that protects Tribal communities from dangerous disruptions in care. But, the shutdown still threatens hundreds of programs across Indian Country, putting pressure on health, education, infrastructure, and more. Keep swiping to learn more about what this shutdown means, and why permanent, reliable funding is critical for Indian Country. Head to nihb.org/blog for a more in-depth breakdown. - We want to hear from you! How has advance appropriations helped your Tribe or community? Share your stories with us at congressionalrelations@nihb.org so we can continue to advocate for Tribal health needs.

September 30 is the National Day of Remembrance for US Indian Boarding Schools. For generations, Native children were taken from their families and placed in government- and church-run institutions where their languages, cultures, and identities were stripped away. Many endured trauma that continues to impact our Tribal communities today. Today, we honor survivors, remember those who never made it home, and recommit to truth, healing, and justice.
