Seven Directions Emerges as the First Indigenous Public Health Institute
Support from a grant from the WK Kellogg Foundation united a dedicated group of American Indian leaders in public health. Together, they explored feasibility for an Indigenous focused public health institute (PHI). Through their hard work and commitment, they founded Seven Directions, A Center for Indigenous Public Health. In April 2017, Seven Directions became the first member of the National Network of Public Health Institutes to focus on Indigenous health in the U.S. Now, Seven Directions has been awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to build a professional community focused on strengthening public health practice in American Indian and Alaska communities.
