History
The mission of the Seattle Indian Health Board (SIHB) is to assist American Indians and Alaska Natives in achieving the highest possible physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual well-being through the provision of culturally appropriate services and to advocate for the needs of all Indian people, especially the most vulnerable members of our community. For over 40 years, SIHB has remained committed to excellence in service, offering clinical, community, chemical dependency, clinical support, and traditional Native health services. While remaining true to its mission, SIHB also established the Urban Indian Health Institute and the Family Medicine Residency Program.
