Texas Native Health

Our ancestors understood that sadness and imbalance weren’t just feelings, they were signs that the spirit needed care. Talking circles, time on the land, and prayer helped bring peace and connection back to the heart. Let’s honor those teachings while embracing modern healing, too. If you or someone you love feels out of balance, reach out to Texas Native Health for support.

Native communities are resilient, but we are also targeted. Human trafficking continues to impact our women, children, and Two-Spirit relatives at higher rates. During Native American Heritage Month, we raise awareness, honor survivors, and commit to protecting our people. If you or someone you know needs help, Texas Native Health is here.

November is a month of awareness, education, and action. From lung to pancreatic and stomach cancers, early detection is key. Check in with your provider, schedule your screenings, and encourage loved ones to do the same. TNH is here to support our community’s health!

This American Diabetes Month, we’re raising awareness about how diabetes affects our bodies, and our eyes. Uncontrolled blood sugar can damage the small blood vessels in the eyes, leading to diabetic eye disease, one of the leading causes of blindness. Native Americans are at higher risk of developing diabetes due to genetics, changes in diet, and limited access to traditional foods, but prevention and management are possible with regular screenings and healthy habits. Take charge of your health and vision: schedule your diabetes and eye exam with Texas Native Health today!
