Urban Indian Health Institute

A division of Seattle Indian Health Board

Projects

As a Tribal Epidemiology Center, we manage public health information systems, investigate diseases of concern, manage disease prevention and control programs, communicate vital health information and resources, respond to public health emergencies, and coordinate these activities with other public health authorities.

The projects we operate help us do all of this while providing information to assist other urban Indian-serving groups and organizations to better the health of the urban Indian community nationwide.
