In this episode of Community Health Centers Unfiltered, hosted by ACH CEO Amanda Pears Kelly, we sit down with A.C. Locklear, CEO of the National Indian Health Board, to discuss the urgent challenges facing American Indian and Alaska Native Nations and communities.
A.C. discusses the chronic underfunding of the Tribal health system, barriers to access to care, and the critical workforce shortages affecting both Tribal and community health centers. We explore how these challenges influence policy, leadership, and the day-to-day work of providing care, and how partnerships between Tribal health organizations and community health centers can help address these gaps.
This episode offers an unfiltered look at the real-world hurdles Tribal health leaders face, and the innovative approaches they’re taking to keep communities healthy and resilient.
