The Midwest Tribal ECHO is facilitated by Native American Community Clinic (NACC) in Minneapolis, MN. It is a time to discuss and share knowledge about topics related to services provided to Indigenous people who use drugs in Minnesota, the Midwest, and beyond. While the original intent of Midwest Tribal ECHO was to share about NACC’s journey into opening a suboxone clinic, in partnership with Red Lake Nation, within our urban primary care setting, Midwest Tribal ECHO now offers a wide range of topics related to Indigenous health and harm reduction.
Past presentation titles include: Harm Reduction is Traditional, Why Buprenorphine?, Borderline Personality Disorder, Safer Drug Use, Harm Reduction Outreach, ACEs & Historical Trauma, Immediate Antiretroviral Therapy (iART), HCV Management, Holistic Health, Indigenous Health Tool Kit, and more!
