The Navajo Epidemiology Center (NEC) was established in 2005 to manage Navajo Nation’s public health information systems, investigate diseases and injuries of concern, provide data and reports to help health programs effectively manage programs, respond to public health emergencies, and coordinate these activities with other public health authorities. The NEC’s primary objectives are: data collection, analysis and interpretation; health surveillance; disease control and prevention; and data sharing.
Oklahoma Area Tribal Epidemiology Center (OKTEC) is a division of the Southern Plains Tribal Health Board (SPTHB). The SPTHB is a non-profit foundation that was established in 1972 to provide service to all Tribes in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Within this area, we serve 43 federally recognized Tribes, 38 in Oklahoma, 4 in Kansas, and 1 in Texas. In 2004 the SPTHB was awarded with funds from the Indian Health Service which created the OKTEC. Since it’s beginning, OKTEC has been offering many services, knowledge, expertise, guidance, and advocacy within the region and nationally. To better accomplish these tasks, OKTEC has developed and nurtured partnerships both regionally and nationally.
The Rocky Mountain Tribal Epidemiology Center empowers American Indian Nations and urban Indian populations by building community-driven public health and epidemiological capacity through outreach and creative partnerships.
The United South and Eastern Tribes, Inc. (USET) Tribal Epidemiology Center (TEC) was established in 1996 by Congress through the reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The USET TEC serves 26 federally recognized Tribal Nations in twelve states from Maine to Florida to Texas. The USET TEC is dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities, to improving the capabilities of Tribal health departments, assisting the USET member Tribal Nations in dealing effectively with public health issues, and in serving the broad health needs of AI/AN citizens.
The UIHI assists Urban Indian Health Organizations (UIHOs), which are private, non-profit, corporations that serve AI/AN people in select cities with a range of health and social services, from outreach and referral to full ambulatory care. UIHOs are a network of 33 independent health agencies funded in part under Subtitle IV of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (formerly Title V) and receive limited grants and contracts from the federal Indian Health Service (IHS). UIHOs are located in 19 states supporting individuals in approximately 100 U.S. counties, in which over 1.2 million AI/ANs reside, according to the 2010 U.S. Census. UIHOs provide traditional health care services, cultural activities and a culturally-appropriate place for urban AI/ANs to receive health care. UIHI staff work on multiple, ongoing research projects to benefit urban American Indian/Alaska Natives.
