We deeply appreciate the sacrifice of your time, your efforts and the willingness to travel to attend our conference; we are grateful for your dedication to Indian Country. Because of your vast experience in the Indian health field, we feel your participation was of great benefit to our conference attendees.
Your support of the NIHB Annual Consumer Conference helps us in the advancement of our overall mission to eliminate health disparities in Indian Country.
