Healthy Natives MKE
Supporting the community to prevent and manage chronic disease through education and awareness while strengthening and restoring traditional practices of healthy living.
Healthy Natives MKE
GLIIHC received funding from the CDC through the Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country (GHWIC) Grant to increase awareness about disease prevention for the urban Native American community. The Health Promotion team is working to raise awareness about pre-diabetes and high blood cholesterol, to support breastfeeding, and to decrease rates of cigarette smoking. Stay tuned for more programming from our GHWIC team such as chronic disease self-management programs, a diabetes prevention program, a smoking cessation program, and support implementing nutrition standards.
Check out what the team has already done on our YouTube page or tune in live for our virtual tabling sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11am on Facebook.
