The National Indian Health Board (NIHB) invites Tribal leaders, health and public health professionals, policy specialists, advocates, and allies to submit workshop proposals for the 2024 National Tribal Health Conference (NTHC) on May 19—23, 2024 at The Monument Convention Center in Rapid City, South Dakota.
The NTHC showcases the interconnectedness of Indian health care, public health, and health policy. In past years, NIHB has welcomed more than 1,000 conference participants, including elected Tribal leaders, health directors, administrators, health care consumers, policy experts, public health professionals, and Tribal citizens. The Conference provides a forum for participants to engage in critical conversations around policy, advocacy, equity, health care delivery, and public, behavioral, and environmental health. Together, we advance Native health with Tribally driven content, culturally centered and grounded in protecting our Tribal communities now and for future generations.
The National Tribal Health Conference welcomes proposals that (1) advance Tribal public health and health equity for American Indians and Alaska Natives; (2) use a Tribal lens and come from a perspective of Indigenous identity; and (3) are action-oriented. Additionally, our workshop proposal selection process prioritizes proposals that feature diverse identities and perspectives.
This year’s Conference theme is Tribal Health Equity on Our Terms and will focus on the five following Content Areas:
Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
Behavioral Health
Public Health Policy, Infrastructure, and Systems
Advocacy
Strengthening Health Care Delivery in Indian Country
We are excited to announce that this year we will be offering two time options for your proposals: a 45-minute Breakout Session or a 75-minute Workshop Session. Additional details on the Content Areas are provided in the Call for Workshop Proposals PDF.
Join us to participate in the conversation to innovate more equitable solutions, improve health outcomes, and advance health equity.
