On the latest episode of The Tribal Health Podcast, we're honored to introduce Brendan McKenna, Vice President of Tribal First, who talked to us about exercising Tribal sovereignty in healthcare. We had a fascinating discussion about delivering care based on each Tribe's needs and the importance of treating behavioral health and substance use disorders on Indigenous lands. Brendan emphasized the need to better listen to Native patients receiving care, as Western medicine tends to focus on cures - and a Native patient's idea of care can cover a broader spectrum.
Tune in to learn more about Brendan’s work with bringing Tribal sovereignty to Indigenous healthcare!
