BACKGROUND The Indian Health Service (IHS), an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services, is responsible for providing federal health services to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The provision of health services to members of federally-recognized tribes grew out of the special government-to-government relationship between the federal government and Indian tribes. This relationship, established in 1787, is based on Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, and has been given form and substance by numerous treaties, laws, Supreme Court decisions, and Executive Orders. The IHS is the principal federal health care provider and health advocate for Indian people and its goal is to raise their health status to the highest possible level. The IHS provides a comprehensive health service delivery system for American Indians and Alaska Natives who are members of 566 federally recognized Tribes across the U.S. The IHS is planning three meetings, which includes: 1) a Financial Management Officers (FMO) meeting to discuss fiscal matters with Area FMOs, 2) an Area Directors (AD) and Area Chief Medical Officers (CMO) meeting to discuss critical issues and Agency priorities, and 3) a Federal ISDEAA Meeting to provide a forum for discussion among staff that influence agency policy on issues affecting health care delivery to Tribes and Tribal organizations. The focus topics are issues related to ISDEAA Title I and Title V. The dates for the conference space is November 18 -21, 2019 for a location in Albuquerque, NM.
