🧡 Last week, we gathered for our Annual Elders Luncheon—one of our favorite traditions at the Seattle Indian Health Board.

✨ We shared a meal prepared by Jeremy Thunderbird, and celebrated the knowledge, love, and leadership they carry for all our communities. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who helped make this gathering warm, welcoming, and full of joy.

🪶 Happy holidays

Our hearts go out to our relatives who may have to evacuate their homes due to this week's flooding. We have a few suggestions of what you may want to pack in your Indigenous go-bag.

Please follow directions from your local first responders. We want you to stay safe.

Measles remains rare, but there are more cases being reported in Washington this year. If you and the little ones have been traveling this season, you're more likely to be exposed to respiratory illnesses, including measles.

We asked our own Dr. Maithri Sarangam what your first step should be if you believe your child has been exposed.

We asked our board member Shelley Means what wellness means to her. "Wellness is a state of spiritual, emotional, and physical balance," she said. "It's our obligation to the people around us."

At SIHB, we want to bring that balance to everyone who walks through our doors. And with your support, we can make that a reality.

This Giving Tuesday, show your support for the health and wellbeing of our people. Your contributions go toward programs and traditional healing practices that serve the whole person, mind, body, and spirit.
