Description
Summary:Note to Readers For a complete list of urban Indian health organizations, and links to their health profiles, please visit: www.uihi.org This is one of thirty four community health profi les produced by the Urban Indian Health Institute to examine the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) living in select urban counties. These counties are served by the network of title V urban Indian health organizations across the country. This health profi le provides an overview of the health status of the AI/AN population living in the service area of the First Nations Community HealthSource. It examines preventable causes of illness, death, access to care, and burden of disease for this urban community. While this report covers key health indicators, not every health concern affecting the AI/AN community is examined. The health indicators covered provide data across two comparison groups: AI/AN and the general population (all race). In the instance where local data are unavailable, state or national data are presented. For more information please contact the
