View Award Description

A Cultural Approach to Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country for the Navajo Community Health Representative Program (CHR) for an additional 5 years (FY2024-FY2029) - The Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country (GHWIC) focuses to promote health, prevent disease, reduce health disparities, and strengthen the health and wellbeing of American Indian Tribes. It is known that the American Indian tribes have higher rates of many chronic illnesses and data is one of the primary focuses of the Navajo Department of Health - Community Health Representative/Outreach Program. The uniqueness of the Navajo Community Health Representative/Outreach Program applying for the GHWIC grant is that it able to utilize all 8 service units on Navajo as resources to create screening events to collect data on Pre-diabetes and High Blood Pressure rates. Also utilizing these new GHWIC funds to bridge the gap between the role of Navajo Traditions, cultural beliefs, and meeting the health care needs of the community. The Navajo Community Health Representative/Outreach Program can address the health disparities not only by providing direct services to the community and collect data through GHWIC but track the strategies outlined by the following: 1. Provide a foundation for chronic disease prevention by providing cultural events to strengthen connections to family and culture and communities, in collaboration with other Navajo Department of Health Programs. 2. Increased screening and testing of community members for chronic diseases and their risk factors by increasing partnerships w/one or more clinical & social service providers and community based programs to prevent, manage and control chronic diseases at Chapter Health Events, Cultural Events and Wellness events. 3. Promote the implementation of a multi-disciplinary team-based care to prevent, manage, and control chronic diseases by collaborating to host a Blood Pressure monitoring program or series at community Chapters to bring awareness and educational referral attempts for High Blood Pressure and Commercial Tobacco Cessation, educational presentations and resources to prevent chronic diseases.
