Dec. 17th Webinar - Affordable Care Act Messaging for American Indians and Alaska Natives

Webinar banner for AIAN Community

You are invited to a webinar hosted by the Cross-RHEC American Indian and Alaska Native Caucus

The Affordable Care Act offers many opportunities to American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) who lack health insurance coverage. The National Indian Health Board, American Indian Health & Family Services, and the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium have many lessons learned to share from their past outreach and enrollment efforts related to enrollment under the Affordable Care Act. This webinar will provide tribes, tribal organizations, and RHEC members with effective messaging strategies and outreach practices for AI/ANs that encourage enrollment in the Health Insurance Marketplace, Medicaid, and the Children’s Health Insurance Program.

MODERATOR: Lillian Zuniga, Member, Cross-RHEC AI/AN Caucus

Ashley Tuomi, DHSc, Executive Director, American Indian Health and Family Services
