Community Health
Reaching Out to the Community
Community Health Services is a “relationship” department that connects IHC’s clinical services with the community, striving for optimum health for our clients. Through home visitation and community events, this relationship, and the warm interpersonal bonds staff members establish, help clients keep their appointments; they help increase clients' compliance with medication and blood pressure monitoring, and generally give the client a feeling of “caring”. This can make the difference between health and wellness, or illness and disease.
The Team is made up of Community Health Representatives (CHRs), Public Health Nurses (PHNs), an Injury Prevention
Coordinator, a Nutritionist, a Physical Exercise Specialist, an Environmental Technician, and Administration Assistants. The Team
provides a wide array of on-site and outreach health and wellness programs to adults and children. At our programs’ core is a cultural sensitivity that makes all the difference.

Prevention
Well/health risk appraisal health fairs offer multi-department efforts coordinated by CHS. These health fairs are offered on all reservations annually and have become an integral, well received event at regional and national health conferences.
An array of “tests” are performed (cholesterol, hemoglobin, blood pressure, blood glucose, and for women over 40 yrs. old and men 60 yrs & older, an osteoporosis screening, and all are documented and filed in participants' medical record. Health education is even through colorful posters on such topics as Breast Health, Cardiovascular Disease, Infant/Toddler Safety, Car Seat Safety, Nutrition, Substance Abuse, Smoking Cessation, and special topics, as requested.
Public Health Nurses are available for “exit interviews” and coordinate follow-up efforts on any finding needing attention.
