DHHS Honors Laguna Pueblo CHR Program on behalf of National I H S CHR Program
At a special event 3 July to celebrate the 40th anniversary
of the Civil Rights Act, Secretary Thompson acknowledged the
value and significance of CHRs across the nation by recognizing
the Laguna Pueblo’s CHR Program as having worked to significantly
reduce the health care disparities gap in tribal communities.
The exemplary initiatives of the Laguna Pueblo site in New Mexico
include a public transportation program called the Shaa'srka'
Transit; the Community Care Station -- a health team that travels
to worksites, offices, and villages to provide free health screenings
for cholesterol, blood pressure, and height/weight; emergency
preparedness mobilization; and joint development with
NHLBI of a comprehensive,
culturally appropriate, ten-
session course on heart
health education entitled
Honoring the Gift of
Heart Health.
