Your brain controls more than just your memory and speech! Things like movement control, senses like seeing and touch, ability to learn and think clearly, and emotional responses all come from brain functions. Learn about keeping your brain healthy as you age at www.nia.nih.gov/brain-health

We are Denver's only Urban Indian Health clinic providing culturally-competent health services; including medical, dental, behavioral, and support.
We provide health services to American Indian families and individuals; DIHFS is also a Medicaid enrollment site and a Connect For Health Colorado (C4HCO) enrollment site.
Our Mission is to provide culturally appropriate services that promote health and quality of life for American Indian families and individuals in the Metropolitan Denver area. Denver was one of the original sites for relocation of Native people from their home reservations. Today, Denver continues to be a hub for American Indian people, with an estimated population of 40,000.
Denver Indian Health and Family Services was created as the result of a needs assessment conducted by the Denver Native Americans United. The doors were closed, however, in 1991 because of the large number of uninsured patients and because of the inability to charge American Indian patients.
Through the efforts of young Indian physician, Dr. Lori Kobrine, the clinic met the requirements for state licensure. DIHFS continues to grow. Since May 2000, the clinic has been staffed with full-time nurse practitioners, dentists, pharmacists, behavioral specialists, and a volunteer physician who provide medical services to the community on a full-time basis.
