Welcome to the IHS Community Health Representative web page. First and foremost we would like to acknowledge Tribal CHRs for their ongoing commitment to advance the health of Tribal communities and their efforts to improve access to quality and culturally competent health care services since 1968.

We hope you find that this program website serves your interests well in the ongoing development and delivery of quality CHR services. We at IHS strive to provide items of interest and need for CHRs as we all work together to raise the physical, mental, social, environmental and spiritual health of AI/AN individuals and communities to the highest level.
