Good health goes beyond that of the individual. It must include the health of the entire community including its culture, language, art and traditions as well as the environment in which it exists. The Potawot Health Village is a reflection of this philosophy.

Potawot is proud to serve our clients with innovative prevention programs, such as dental, medical, vision, nutrition, pharmacy, counseling, and diabetes treatment and prevention program, as well as an increasing array of cultural and arts events. It is the combination of all this that makes the Indian community come together as a whole, and improves the overall health and wellness of everyone involved. Some have said that UIHS is truly a leader in Indian health because of always having been an Indian governed clinic, as well as our history of success in developing long-lasting culturally sensitive programs that meet the needs of the people. continue to Page 2
