The Indian Country Community Health Representative (CHR) ECHO provides comprehensive information to support Indian Health Service, Tribal, and Urban Indian Community Health Representatives and community-based health workers. The ECHO aims to increase access to care for American Indian and Alaska Native people by providing skills of health care provision, disease control, and prevention and help to eliminate health disparities by supporting the workforce to improve Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) using a community-based approach.
