Communities plagued with a high incidence of certain diseases should have resources to help prevent and manage the illness, if a facility does not have adequate resources or anything at all; it is the CHR’s job to inform the Service Unit Director of the issue and help advocate for resources, funding and development of the project.
Ways of advocating include:
It is helpful to attend tribal council and health committee meetings as often as you can, even requesting to present pertinent information about issues in your community. It is also helpful to know you tribal health policies and procedures. Believe that you are an important resource in you community. Your knowledge of the resources which you can share is an important contribution to tribal leaders and the community as well. How you implement knowledge is your professional challenge.
