“70 years after its founding, the Indian Health Service remains central to the federal trust responsibility,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., during today’s 70th Anniversary Tribal Summit. “Our responsibility requires action and not rhetoric. We’re going to fill the vacancies ... We’re going to expand access to behavioral health care. We’re going to improve coordination with tribes at every level of this department ... Together, we’re going to continue strengthening the Indian Health Service and improving health outcomes for American Indians and Alaska Natives.”

The IHS thanks Secretary Kennedy for the good words he shared with tribal leaders and for attending today’s summit. His participation here reflects a meaningful commitment to listening, learning, and showing up for tribal nations.
