Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health

We work in partnership with tribal communities to design public health programs that raise the health status, self-sufficiency, and health leadership of Native people to the highest possible level.

We are an independent center within the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health with satellite offices on tribal lands of the White Mountain, Navajo Nation, and Santo Domingo Pueblo, where our Native American workforce serves their own communities. With over 35 years of collaboration with Southwestern tribes, our programs now reach more than 100 tribal communities in 16 states. These partnerships have achieved landmark public health breakthroughs credited with saving over 60 million children’s lives worldwide.
