Impact of Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country Initiative: Food and Nutrition

Two-page summary of the impacts GHWIC has had in grantee communities

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/AN) are twice as likely to be food insecure compared to whites. Persistent food insecurity leads to higher rates of chronic disease including diabetes. Since 2014, Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country (GHWIC) has supported AI/AN communities as they develop community-driven and culturally-adapted strategies, increasing opportunities for AI/AN communities to live healthier lives.
