In The Spotlight

#WorldHepatitisDay is July 28

In order to raise awareness of this hidden epidemic, July 28th has been designated as World Hepatitis Day. The most recent data shows the American Indian and Alaska Native population had the highest rate of new hepatitis C virus infections of all ethnic groups. IHS is working to strengthen efforts in prevention, screening and control of viral hepatitis. This year's World Hepatitis Day theme is "Eliminate Hepatitis."

Summer Safety

It’s great to spend time outdoors when the sun is shining and the weather is warm. However, the sun is also a source of intense ultraviolent (UV) radiation, which can be harmful. So when we spend time outdoors, we need to remember to take steps to protect ourselves and our families.
