Seattle Indian Health Board (#35)

Thanks to the work of Native activists, the Seattle Indian Health Board opened its doors in 1970 to provide access to healthcare operated by Native people for Native people. A recognized leader in the promotion of health improvement for urban American Indians and Alaska Natives, the Seattle Indian Health Board serves approximately 6,000 patients each year.
