The mission of the UIHI is to support the health and well-being of urban Indian communities through information, scientific inquiry and technology. The UIHI was established as a Division of the Seattle Indian Health Board, a community health center for urban American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs). The UIHI is one of 12 tribal epidemiology centers (TECs) funded by the Indian Health Service (IHS). While the other 11 TECs work with tribes regionally, the UIHI focuses on the nationwide urban AI/AN population. As a crucial component of the health care resources for all AI/ANs, tribal epidemiology centers are responsible for: - Managing public health information systems - Investigating diseases of concern - Managing disease prevention and control programs - Communicating vital health information and resources - Responding to public health emergencies - Coordinating these activities with other public health authorities The UIHI assists Urban Indian Health Organizations, which are private, non-profit, corporations that serve AI/AN people in select cities with a range of health and social services, from outreach and referral to full ambulatory care. UIHI staff work on multiple, ongoing research projects to benefit urban American Indian/Alaska Natives. The UIHI website (www.uihi.org) includes a wealth of information on our past and current work, including many useful products for download.
