Our Mission... to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.

Our Goal... to assure that comprehensive, culturally acceptable personal and public health services are available and accessible to American Indian and Alaska Native people.

Our Foundation... to uphold the Federal Government's obligation to promote healthy American Indian and Alaska Native people, communities, and cultures and to honor and protect the inherent sovereign rights of Tribes.

There is a wealth of information about the Indian Health Service contained within the IHS.GOV and INFO.IHS.GOV websites. I encourage you to browse the pages of our websites and become familiar with our Agency and our programs.
