Transforming Tribal Health Through Health Information Technology

HIMSS launched its Native American & Indigenous Community back in 2022, a global community to gather fellow Tribal & Indigenous members and allies. The Native American & Indigenous Symposium will be a celebration of how leaders and partners are working to strengthen Tribal health systems. This will be an opportunity to learn about health IT solutions that enable health equity, respect sovereignty and leverage digital health innovation that support Native American and Indigenous communities.
