Project Red Talon

Mission

Our mission is to reduce the prevalence of STDs among American Indians and Alaska Natives in the Pacific Northwest by uniting to share wisdom, data, and resources, identify and address common priorities, and develop strategies to eliminate STD-related disparities.

Members

Members of the Red Talon Coalition include tribal health representatives, the Indian Health Service, the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, Center for Disease Control and Prevention, State and County Health Department STD/HIV Programs, regional tribal planning groups, the Seattle STD/HIV Prevention Training Center, and local community-based organizations. Meetings are held in conjunction with the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board’s Quarterly Board Meetings, and provide a critical venue for discussing important STD issues.

The STD/HIV Tribal Action Plan is the product of a collaborative, year-long planning process, initiated by members of the Red Talon STD/HIV Coalition. (Download)
