JOB SUMMARY

About the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB)

The Northwest Tribes have long recognized the need to exercise control over the design and development of health care delivery systems in their local communities. To this end, they formed the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (also referred to as NPAIHB or "the Board") in 1972.

Tribes become voting members of the Board through resolutions passed by their governing body. Each member Tribe designates a delegate to serve on the NPAIHB Board of Directors.

Led by our Board of Directors (Tribal Delegates), NPAIHB's mission is to "eliminate health disparities and improve the quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI / AN) by supporting Northwest Tribes in their delivery of culturally appropriate, high-quality health programs and services." We have a staff of over 100 professionals dedicated to advancing Tribal health for the 7th generation in the Pacific Northwest.
