In our first ever sit-down with a guest, we are joined by Dr. Dan Calac, Chief Medical Officer at Indian Health Council. Dr. Calac is very well respected at IHC and within the community at large, and we wanted to hear from him about his journey to becoming a doctor. As you'll hear, the journey from kid growing up around here to becoming the CMO at IHC wasn't exactly a straight forward path. It's a lively, enlightening, empowering and inspirational chat with Dr. Calac, you'll even learn a bit about one of his hobbies and we think you'll find that it's a boulder hobby than you'd guess. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ihcwhataboutlife/message

India will digitise the country's health care delivery system by building registries of health providers and facilities, providing unique health identity to all residents, preparing a consent framework and ensuring universal access to health care, finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in her Budget speech in Parliament.
This week on our show we have Dr. Terry Knapp – Founder, Director, and Chief Medical Officer of CareSpan Holdings, Inc. Dr. Knapp has a storied 50-year record of achievement in health care and business. His company CareSpan provides a comprehensive, integrated digital healthcare “Clinic-in-the-Cloud” solution by creating unfettered access to care for the underserved, with an emphasis on the care of chronic illness. Dr. Knapp has devoted his life to working with native peoples throughout the world and deeply understands the health problems and impediments to better healthcare that afflict Native Americans. In this episode, he is here to share his views in order to raise awareness for the plight of indigenous peoples in our country who are receiving sub-standard care. There are some deeply emotional moments in this episode, as he discusses the failures of healthcare delivery as promised by the U.S. government more than 100 years ago. He describes American Indians that are dying a slow and agonizing death. Their land – a reservation – is a concentration camp where they are treated as third-class “citizens” by receiving medical care that is killing them. He talks about the bureaucracy of the Indian Health Service, the failure of the IHS to provide enough good doctors, the lack of choices by patients, and the lack of respect for Native American ways by a health system that ignores their culture. He discusses the denial of access to modern medical care and posits that the Indian Health system actually makes them sicker by exacerbating psychological trauma and socioeconomic challenges associated with their physical imprisonment (as seen by rates of substance abuse and mental illness). The inhumane treatment that Dr. Knapp has observed firsthand has made him speak out about what he sees as a slow-moving but progressive bureaucratic genocide of our Indigenous peoples. The Native American phrase Mitakuye Oyasin means “all my relations”. This is said at the end of every prayer in the Lakota Nation, and it reminds us at all times to honor all of our relations – past, present, and future. This transcends our human relatives and includes our relation to all of creation – the water, the plants, the animals, and the Creator. Indigenous people think intergenerationally as well, by honoring those in the past, present, and future. In thinking of value-based care, how can we consider all of our relations – which includes Native Americans who have suffered irreparable harms from a deeply flawed healthcare system?

Public health spans all communities and cultures. However, smaller populations are being overlooked due to historical discrimination. Today we talk to Dr. Rosalina James, Director of Research and Evaluation at Urban Indian Health Institute (UIHI), about her interests in decolonizing data and the importance of getting people of American Indian and Native Alaska descent a seat at the table. We hear the challenges Dr. James faced as a woman of color in academia, and her advice on facing these issues. Find out how Dr. James moved into public health from lab work, why workforce development is so important to her, and why she feels epidemiologists are uniquely equipped to make overlooked cultures visible. Tune in to hear what the UIHI has been working on throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and how you can get involved as an intern. We look forward to having you join us!

The U.S. House of Representatives considers H.R.5221, the Urban Indian Health Confer Act, on November 1, 2021. The bill amends the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to require the Indian Health Service and other agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services to “confer, to the maximum extent practicable, with urban Indian organizations.” A hearing on H.R.5221 took place before the House Subcommittee for Indigenous Peoples of the United States on October 5. The bill was approved by the House Committee on Natural Resources during a markup on October 13.
In 2019, a year before the pandemic, entrepreneurs Amit Singal and Amit Vyas had started working on the digital transformation of the healthcare sector. Nexus Healthtech — popularly known by its product name Maatri — is a digital health platform to help mothers track the health of their children along with other family members. It provides health-related update information, health monitoring, teleconsultation, and maintains health records, among others. Maatri is divided into several segments. The CEO explains that it helps mothers with children less than five years to track their growth as per the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards. It acts as a personal paediatrician, where mothers can keep a tab on their child's vaccinations, developmental aspects, generate health cards, and connect with doctors online, among others. The product also helps parents recognise any early signs of developmental conditions among their children via a screening test. Besides, women can use Maatri during their pregnancy period to track their and their child's health. In fact, the product is not limited to just children. Women can also use Maatri to track the health of other family members. Not only human members, but Maatri also enables the user to add medical details about their pets. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gmbwithkay/message

Senate Advances Padilla Amendment to Improve Urban Indian Health Infrastructure Fix included in bipartisan infrastructure package will allow UIOs to spend appropriated funding on construction and infrastructure projects Note: The following is an excerpt of a press release from Sen. Alex Padilla (D-California) WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today (August 2, 2021), the U.S. Senate voted to amend the bipartisan infrastructure legislation to include U.S. Senators Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) and James Lankford's (R-Okla.) Urban Indian Health Providers Facilities Improvement Act to pave the way for increased investment in the renovation and construction of urban Indian health facilities. U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Tina Smith (D-Minn.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), and Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i) are cosponsors of the amendment. The Indian Health System is made up of the Indian Health Service (IHS), Tribal health programs, and urban Indian organizations (UIOs). UIOs provide culturally competent care for the over 70 percent of American Indians and Alaska Natives who live in urban centers, many in low-income, medically underserved areas. 86 percent of UIOs report needing to make facilities and infrastructure upgrades, while 74 percent of UIOs report unmet need for new construction to better serve patients. However, under an existing obsolete provision of law, UIOs are prevented from using the money allocated to them by Congress on these critical infrastructure projects. This amendment changes the law to allow UIOs to spend appropriated funding on construction and renovation projects to improve the safety and quality of care provided to urban Indian patients. These needs include, but are not limited to the construction of urgent care facilities and infectious disease areas, capacity expansion projects, ventilation system improvements, and upgrades to telehealth and electronic health records systems. “Tribal communities face grave and unjust disparities in access to many kinds of infrastructure, but the disparities in access to health care and health infrastructure are especially stark,” said Senator Padilla. “In California, Urban Indian Organizations are a lifeline to Native Americans living in urban areas, yet they are prohibited from using Indian Health Service funding for facilities, maintenance, equipment, and other necessary infrastructure upgrades. I'm glad to see the Senate take action on my bipartisan amendment today to remove this unjust burden on UIOs as part of the infrastructure package, because no infrastructure package would be complete without robust improvements to tribal infrastructure. Passage of this amendment will ensure that UIOs are able to improve the quality of the culturally competent care that they provide to urban Indians.” “Oklahoma has the second-largest Urban Indian patient population and is proudly served in both Tulsa and Oklahoma City clinics. We should continue to improve health care access for our Urban Indian population and broaden the flexibility for Urban Indian Organizations' use of facilities renovation dollars, in addition to those for accreditation, to meet patient needs,” said Senator Lankford. The Urban Indian Health Providers Facilities Improvement Act will have a critical impact on California, which has one of the largest populations of American Indians in the United States and is home to 723,225 American Indians of sole and mixed race. Unlike American Indian populations in other states, American Indians in California are not linked by a dominant tribal affiliation, nor are they concentrated on reservations. In fact, nearly 90 percent of the American Indian population in California resides in urban areas. Additionally, between 60,000 and 70,000 out-of-state Native Americans settled in Los Angeles and San Francisco – these cities have two of the largest urban Native American populations in the United States.

Mandakini Gahlot, journalist in New Delhi, discusses a surge in Covid-19 cases in India.
More than one million doses of COVID-19 vaccine has been administered by the Indian health system, and additional help to Indian Health Service, tribal and urban Indian health programs is on its way.The Biden administration announced this month that it was investing more than $4 billion to combat coronavirus in Indian Country as part of the president's American Rescue Plan. A large chunk of the money will go to support increased vaccinations across the Indian health system.The Bemidji Area office of Indian Health Service covers three Midwest states including all of Minnesota. Nearly 100,000 vaccine doses have been administered as part of the Bemidji office. Native people are at higher risk for coronavirus disease and complications.Native American and Alaska Native people are 3.5 times more likely to get COVID-19, and have the highest hospitalization rate of any racial or ethnic group, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Two days before Biden's announcement, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs held an oversight hearing that examined the coronavirus response in Indigenous communities. The bipartisan committee oversees matters related to Native American, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian peoples. Health officials from Hawaii, Alaska and the Lower 48 testified, including Indian Health Service Chief Medical Officer Michael Toedt. Toedt: Over the past year, the IHS has worked closely with our tribal and urban Indian organization partners, state and local public health officials, and our fellow federal agencies to coordinate a comprehensive public health response to the pandemic. Our number one priority has been the safety of our IHS patients and staff, as well as tribal community members.36:19-36:51 = 32 seconds, Toedt1 audioToedt shared IHS' coronavirus response and strategy in his roughly five-minute testimony. He said the vaccination effort was possible because of strong partnerships with tribal governments and health facilities.

Everyone has a different story about how they got into Civil Engineering. While some people had a love for the problem-solving process of mathematics and physics from an early age, others discovered their passions for one specific area or discipline of the field a little bit later in life. Today, we go through the story of how someone who was pretty familiar with the military went up to an officer of the USPHS Commissioned Corps, got himself a summer job, and has been with the Indian Health Service for 18 years. Today's special guest is Charles Thompson, the Indian Health Service Sr. Field Engineer, who studied Engineering at the University of Maine and graduated in 2005. His work involves doing providing federally recognized tribes with water, wastewater, and solid waste infrastructure projects, as well as providing the tribal utilities with utility consultation, and helping them out with the operation and maintenance of their systems. Charles, a “late bloomer” as he calls himself, talks about his experience with the PE exam, as well as how hard it can be, especially for those who haven't dealt with school material and concepts for a long time. Therefore, he took the Ultimate Civil PE Review Course in order to take the exam — which he did in October — and, today, he explains how it helped him prepare for it. This is a must-listen episode for literally anyone. Charles really brings the civil engineering field to its core essence, which is using the technical knowledge and problem-solving skills we have to positively impact communities and society as a whole.

HMM producer Anna Steltenkamp speaks with Dina Gilio-Whitaker. Dina is a member of the Colville Confederated Tribes, an award-winning journalist, and a lecturer of American Indian Studies at California State University San Marcos. Anna speaks with her about her recent book: “As Long as Grass Grows: The Indigenous Fight for Environmental Justice, from Colonization to Standing Rock.” Dina also co-authored “‘All the Real Indians Died Off’: And 20 Other Myths About Native Americans” with Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. This is the third segment in a multi-part dialogue with Dina Gilio-Whitaker. In this segment, Dina speaks about the importance of food for American Indian cultural identity and personal vitality, as well as efforts to revitalize Native food sources. She addresses how the imposition of foreign food systems, the dependency on Federal Government food programs, and the forced removal from, or degradation of, natural environments and food sources created a multiplicity of health-related issues within Native communities—including starvation, malnourishment, and obesity.

While reports show that the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affects communities of color, gaps in data have made it difficult to quantify the impact of the virus on indigenous populations. To get a better sense of how Native Americans in the Valley are faring during the pandemic, Valley Edition Host Kathleen Schock spoke with Selina De La Peña , CEO of the Fresno American Indian Health Project.

This episode features a conversation with RSBCIHI Chief Operating Officer, Bill Thomsen. Mr. Thomsen shares some of the history of how the consortium of the nine tribes was started. Thinking through the history of treaty obligations that were intended to stop the killing of Native Americans, the U.S. government promised to provide health care for the tribes and thus Indian Health Services (IHS) came into existence. Despite this obligation, IHS is persistently underfunded. Nevertheless, RSBCIHI strives to deliver care that attends to both the physical and cultural needs of the Native population. RSBCIHI has a strong relationship with the tribes in the consortium and collaboratively they work together to meet the health needs of the community.
On this episode, you’ll meet Wyatt Pickner and Crisandra Wilkie and hear about their journeys into public health. You’ll also learn about the Urban Indian Health Institute in Seattle WA, which is just one of 12 partner Tribal Epidemiology Centers (TECs) funded by the Indian Health Service’s Division of Epidemiology and Disease Prevention to assist in improving the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives throughout the United States.

In this episode, we discuss disparities in American Indian health and the structural barriers that prevent us from providing equitable care to this diverse population. We interview Tom Sequist, Chief Quality and Safety Officer at Partners HealthCare in Boston, and a member of the Taos Pueblo tribe in New Mexico.
Dr. Holm and Joan Hogan discuss various medical topics
When Ben Luety first arrived inside the CFO office at the Seattle Indian Health Board, he would frequently rely on his smartphone’s roaming service to search the Web rather than depend on the organization’s Internet connection. “The Internet for the entire organization had less bandwidth than I did,” explains Luety, who describes the IT infrastructure serving the organization’s 200 staff members as being minted in the pre-Internet days of the early 1990s. For Luety, it was apparent that the SIHB was the type of organization that cloud technologies often serve best by allowing them to leapfrog certain technologies and approaches that haven’t passed the test of time. What’s more, Luety was in lockstep with his CEO, Esther Lucero, whose vision for the organization could be realized only through greater transparency and visibility into its numbers. “We needed a system that would allow us to quickly and easily produce reports, and it all came down to our ability to manage data and produce a workflow that allows everyone to make certain that the data is getting into the right bucket and that we’re reporting out to the organization—so that people across the organization can make data-driven decisions,” he explains. –Jack Sweeney jb
This week the Democratic candidates for president will have their first debates. I have some questions I’d like to ask. For example: Several candidates talk about universal health insurance. For Indian Country that would mean a fully-funded Indian Health system.
Lisa Mann-Mattson, Director of Community Wellness for the San Diego American Indian Health Center, chats about the Health Center’s mission; its services; its 40th Anniversary of doing business in our region; and the 31st Annual Balboa Park Pow Wow on May 11 and 12 in Balboa Park.
Striking down the Affordable Care Act would have immediate impact for more than 20 million Americans. And any repeal would also include the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. It’s hard to understate the significance of what that would mean. Medicaid is a significant source of funding for the Indian Health system. More than one out of every four Native patients in the Indian health system are covered by Medicaid.
On this episode, Lavinia Turian (MS2) discusses with Dr. Martin Smilkstein about what it is like practicing medicine on the Navajo Reservation at the Chinle Comprehensive Health Care Facility as part of the Indian Health...
Indian Health programs were on the ballot in many states. There were a few wins and Alaska is at risk for a big loss.
Interview with Dr. LeeAnna Muzquiz, Associate Dean for Admission at University of Washington School of Medicine [Show Summary] Our guest today is Dr. LeeAnna Muzquiz, UWSOM Associate Dean of Admissions, UWSOM grad and professor, and citizen of the Confederated Salish & Kootenai Tribes (CSKT) in Montana. She dives deep into the University of Washington School of Medicine program, mission and admissions practices during this packed podcast. Additionally she provides an excellent overview of how the WWAMI regional program shapes admissions at UW. Finally, she offers can’t-miss advice to UW medical school applicants. Listen in! Get into University of Washington Medical School [Show Notes] Dr. Muzquiz, can you give an overview of the UW SOM’s curriculum focusing on its more distinctive aspects? [2:17] The UW School of Medicine did an overhaul of its curriculum and implemented it with the incoming class of 2015. We are all still getting used to it but essentially we changed the way that we helped students get ready for clinical medicine with exposure right out of the gate. There are three phases (rather than the more traditional two years of basic science and two years of clinical exposure). The design is a layered approach – there is a foundation phase, patient care phase, and explore and focus phase, which really reflects the progress of the student and maturation from student to physician. Starting with orientation and immersion during the first two weeks of medical school it is all about exploring what it is to be a doctor, basic exam skills, and also exposure to service learning and health systems. Students come in with whatever their passion is, and we offer all kinds of different ways to tailor their education. What are threads, themes, and pathways? [5:12] The overall approach is really to be multi-layered and longitudinal to help med students and physicians develop critical thinking skills. Essentially, how does basic science, pathophysiology, and physiology really relate to patients walking into the hospital? Threads are both scientific and clinical offered throughout each block, including anatomy, physiology, and pathology. For example, in the first block of the curriculum you are studying the molecular and cellular basis of disease, which will include cell physiology, genetics, pathology, and histology and all of those things will be part of expectations to be mastered in that block. That is the thread going through. The next phase would be Invaders and Defenders, looking at the immune system, microbiology, seeing the anatomy of how that works, pharmacology, etc., so much more system oriented. The themes are recurrent throughout. How does this then look in terms of the value-based concepts -- diversity, ethics, and population health – when applying to real people? We are teaching students to think much more like physicians need to think at the end of training, but we’re starting that training in the beginning of it. Pathways are extracurricular certifications to meet the needs of students who have additional interests – the Indian Health pathway is what I did. Other pathways include Hispanic Health, Global Health, Underserved Health, and LGBTQ Health, and you receive additional training in those fields. UW serves the WWAMI states, which include Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. How does that work? Is there a set number of students that you take from each of the WWAMI states? In total?[11:45] We are a state institution, with the main campus located in Seattle, but we collaborate with surrounding states since none of them have their own public in-state medical school. There are 270 slots in total each year for medical school, with 160 seats for Washington residents (100 will do the foundation in Seattle proper, and the other 60 in Spokane), Wyoming has 20 seats with the foundation in Laramie WY, Alaska has 20 seats with foundation in Anchorage, Montana has 30 seats with foundation in Bozeman,
Who should run the Indian Health Service? Not “who” exactly, but what kind of leader? What kind of skills and experience? The answers start with an agency mission has changed dramatically -- yet there is a disconnect and policy makers continue to talk about Indian Health as it used to be.
In today's episode, Justin and Lance discuss the hospital coverage crisis for Native Americans and how Puerto Rico is still not shaping up as they try to rebuild.
Senate Republicans failed in their bid to remake federal health programs. And for Indian Country that means there is a new opportunity to insure that more tribal citizens have insurance in order to improve Indian health funding.
The House of Representatives passed the American Health Care Act by four votes last week. The legislation now moves to the United States Senate for consideration. This bill would dramatically reshape the healthcare system, including Indian health because it would end Medicaid as we know it. Medicaid insures more than half of all children in the Indian Health system and it accounts for 13 percent of the Indian Health Service budget.
The promise from President Donald J. Trump and Congress to quickly repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act has failed. What does this mean for the Indian health system? It’s a renewed call to grow the number of American Indians and Alaska Natives with health insurance and to expand Medicaid in nineteen states.
