IHS Native American Cardiology Program

Type: Resources
General Target Population: AI/AN
Specific Target Population: Health Care Providers
Sector: Government / Public Institution

The Native American Cardiology Program has also achieved significant benefits through its association with the University Medical Center. Together with the University Medical Center and our other partners we have seen improvements in our capacity to continue to provide the highest quality healthcare to the Native Americans we serve. The Native American Cardiology Program has also achieved many similar benefits through its association with the Southern Arizona VA Healthcare System, enjoying additional advantage of the cost savings associated with the utilization of another federal facility for subspecialty services performed by IHS physicians. Our recent association and partnership with the Flagstaff Medical Center has expanded these benefits as well as the diagnostic and therapeutic interventions available to our patients through this program. Generous private donations have provided significant support in the way of providing diagnostic and other equipment related to direct patient care as well.
