Community Health Representative
The Community Health Representatives (CHR) Program was established in 1968, under the 1921 Snyder Act (25 U.S.C. 13). CHRs are frontline public health workers who are trusted members of the community with a close understanding of the community, language, and traditions. CHRs serve as a link between the clinical setting and the community to facilitate access to services and improve the quality and cultural competence of service delivery. They assist by increasing health knowledge of patients and communities through a broad range of activities such as transportation to health visits, outreach, community education, informal counseling, social support, and advocacy.

November is Native American Heritage Month!
In 1990, President George H. W. Bush officially designated November as National American Indian Heritage Month, recognizing the rich histories, cultures, traditions, and contributions of Native peoples across the United States.
This month is an opportunity to celebrate Native American heritage, share our traditions and stories, and honor the generations who came before us while recognizing the strength and resilience of Native communities today.
Native American Heritage Month is also a time to educate, build understanding, and raise awareness of the issues facing Native communities.
Throughout November, we encourage everyone to take time to learn, listen, and celebrate the cultures and contributions of Native peoples, not just this month, but all year long.
Happy Native American Heritage Month from the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska!
