Cohort 9 - 2020
NLAPH
Overview
The team plans to use a collective impact model to increase communication and cooperation among multiple sectors and stakeholders, including community members. They hope to increase the capability of the team and stakeholders to engage in a collective impact approach and plan for long-term work to address problems in areas where there is a lack of affordable housing and access to healthcare, where people are generally older, sicker, less educated, poorer, and more rural.

Cohort 5 - 2016
NLAPH
Overview
As a team within NLAPH’s Good Health and Wellness in Indian Country cohort, the team’s motto is to “create a culture of wellness through strategic planning and implementation of a Community Health Improvement Plan.”
They aim to collaborate across sectors and engage entities within the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservations (CTUIR). The CTUIR is comprised of three tribes — Cayuse, Umatilla, and Walla Walla — and has nearly three thousand tribal members.
Their three identified leadership goals for the year include:
Engaging the community to emphasize that the community’s current health status is a shared responsibility
Coalition building by working with CTUIR Commissions and Committees
Increasing connectedness among Yellowhawk, CTUIR programs, and community members

Cohort 2 - 2013
NLAPH
Overview
FGC aims to repair relationships between Native and non-Native entities, particularly government; facilitate the creation of culturally-specific interventions; and promote healthy pregnancies in AI/AN peoples. They will do this by using a community-based participatory planning process that acknowledges historic injustices, integrates Native beliefs and culture, and invites leadership, input, and participation from Native community members. The main output of this project is a culturally-relevant community action plan that would promote healthy pregnancies among AI/ANs. The proposed approach will vastly increase community capacity by supporting Native leadership in health promotion planning to address social determinants and health disparities, as well as facilitate systems change.
