On the first day, the National Council of Urban Indian Health Washington Summit featured key insights about the government shutdown and the future of urban Indian health.
This week, the National Council of Urban Indian Health will host their second Washington Summit.
During the shutdown, some American Indian health clinics had to close altogether, several had to reduce hours and lay off staff, while others reported that they would only be able to stay open for an additional 30 days.
Maureen Rosette, president of the National Council of Urban Indian Health, plead last month for House spending leaders to make a change, testifying that some American Indian health clinic operators had to take personal liens on their homes to help their facilities.
"Congress cannot continue to let this happen," said Rosette, calling for "true parity" for Native American programs.
The National Council of Urban Indian Health applauds a proposed Indian Health Service increase but is concerned about proposed cuts potentially impacting Urban Indian Health Programs.
Washington, DC (March 12, 2019) — On Monday, March 11, 2019 President Trump released his request for the FY 2020 budget to Congress. Under the request, the Indian Health Service (IHS) would receive $5.9 billion in FY 2020, a projected increase of $392 million above the President’s FY 2019 budget. NCUIH, as part of the Tribal Budget Formulation Workgroup (TBFWG), had encouraged the Administration to fund IHS at $7 billion with an urban Indian health line item of $32.7 million for FY 2020. The IHS proposed budget falls more than $1 billion short of TBFWG’s overall IHS recommendation. The President’s budget does not delineate its recommendation for the urban Indian health line item at this time.

The National Council of Urban Indian Health (NCUIH), which represents 41 urban Indian organizations (UIOs) with Title V contracts across the nation, appreciates the bipartisan legislation to be introduced by Representative Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM-3) and Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) to fix Medicaid for American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) patients who are served by UIOs.
Because of an infant at work policy, I am able to return to work after just three weeks from giving birth. This policy was implemented in 2011, before I started working for American Indian Health and Family Services.
