“Housing & Tribal Infrastructure” is the featured Health News & Notes theme for September.
This publication explores how safe housing, facilities, data systems, workforce development, and sustainable funding form the foundation of Tribal health. Highlights include the first Portland Area Regional Specialty Referral Center (a new outpatient specialty care and surgical facility on Puyallup Tribe land), Oregon’s upcoming Medicaid reimbursement for Community Health Aide Program services (starting January 1, 2027), the new NPAIHB website and forthcoming Huckleberry Hub learning platform, NW Tribal Data Hub priorities and a new Data Advisory Group, plus updates on NW NARCH research fellowships, youth programs, adolescent health initiatives, and Indian Country ECHO trainings.
