CALL TO ACTION! Across healthcare professions, there is stagnant or declining workforce numbers. Healthcare workforce shortages are only projected to worsen, adding burden to areas already facing disproportionate access to healthcare services. Native communities already face inequities in healthcare services and resources, which will only intensify as shortages are faced across the nation. Join us at the IHEART National Summit to discuss the current state of the healthcare workforce and its impact on Native communities. Hear from healthcare professionals and healthcare organization. Learn about current and needed policy updates. Gather in conversation to set goals to break down problems facing the healthcare workforce and brainstorm actionable first steps to address the current state of healthcare. Share your wisdom with other attendees via our Poster Presentation opportunity.
