Our mission is to continue and share the legacy of a healthy American Indian/Alaska Native community based on cultural values delivered through a traditional, innovative, and accessible patient-centered health home. SNAHC envisions a vibrant community built upon a strong foundation of cultures and traditions, where healthy lifestyles include the balance of mind, body, and spirit - a restored legacy of well individuals and families.
Patient Care - Primary, Dental, and Behavioral Health:
SNAHC requests funds to support all aspects of health across a patient's lifespan, including primary care, dental, and behavioral health.
Specialty Health Services:
Along with preventative patient care, SNAHC provides a variety of specialty health services, including chiropractic, optometry, and podiatry appointments all located at our health home location in Sacramento's Midtown district and our new site located in South Sacramento on Florin Road. SNAHC requests funds to maintain these additional services to our patient community.
Healing Ways Department:
SNAHC seeks support to fund our Healing Ways Department, which integrates Native-based services in the health center and engages the community to live a healthier lifestyle through tribal practices. This program supports traditional practices that build resiliency and connections to community, family, and culture, which over time, can reduce risk factors for chronic disease among American Indians and Alaska Natives. Program activities include: traditional medicine classes, urban plant walks, field trips and harvesting, quarterly nutritional native meals, community-based events, and Elder-Youth educational workshops.
Support Services and Classes:
SNAHC strives to help our patients grow and live healthier lifestyles in all areas of their lives. To aid in this goal, we are proud to offer several enabling services including case management, referrals, patient navigation, and insurance enrollment. We also offer health education classes and support groups such as our wellbriety and sobriety H.O.P.E. Healing Our People Through Education class, Anger Management group, Two Spirit Circle, and Yoga for Wellness course. Funds donated will help us maintain and improve these classes.
Community Outreach and Events:
As one of the largest employer's in midtown, SNAHC recognizes our responsibility to support the local community and our organizational partners. A gift to SNAHC will help us continue to provide health education to Sacramento businesses and schools, and create opportunities for community growth and collaboration.
