Mission

The Indian Health Service (IHS) is responsible for providing Federal health services to more than 2.5 million American Indians and Alaska Natives, and provides funds for Tribal and urban Indian health programs across the country. IHS services deliver on the Federal government’s treaty responsibilities to provide health care to American Indians and Alaska Natives, as recognized by the Biden-Harris Administration’s ongoing commitment to advance the interests, self-determination, and well-being of Tribal Nations rooted in the Federal trust responsibility.

Designated Services

IHS is a newly-designated HISP for FY24; information on selected designated service(s) will be updated later in the FY.
