“During Native American Heritage Month, we recognize the rich and diverse cultures of our staff, faculty, trainees and students from American Indian and Alaska Native communities. We also have an opportunity to learn about their challenges and the need for culturally appropriate healthcare to help eliminate health disparities.”

Houston, Ed.D., chief equity officer, Office of Healthcare Equity, UW Medicine, and associate vice president for medical affairs, UW Medicine. In the message, they share that UW Medicine will commemorate the month in many ways. Read the message here.
