Impact of Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country Initiative: Health System Strengthening

American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) definitions of health and wellness address the physical, mental, social, and emotional wellbeing of individuals. A key aspect of this approach is extending patient engagement to resources available outside of the clinic. In order to address chronic diseases, AI/AN communities are strengthening their healthcare systems and extending patient engagement to the home and the office.
