The Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center is a Federally Qualified Health Center and the only Urban Indian Health Center in the state of Wisconsin. The proposed project, Tribal Practices for Wellness in Indian Country MKE, will improve the health and wellness of the Milwaukee area’s urban AI/AN population through broadened understanding of traditions and practices that support and enhance health. The project will be supported through the hiring of a full-time Cultural and Spiritual Advisor, partnerships and by bringing in subject matter experts to broaden inter- and intra-tribal knowledge and understanding of the deep impact of cultural and linguistic traditions on health. A robust set of programs will be intergenerational, will focus on all 12 Bands and Tribes in Wisconsin, and will reach an estimated 470 people per year.
