Direct Service Tribes Advisory Committee

The Direct Service Tribes Advisory Committee (DSTAC), established in 2005, provides leadership and guidance to the IHS Director on the development of health policy and the implementation of programs that affect the delivery of health care across the Indian health system.  The DSTAC serves as a vital forum for Direct Service Tribes to share perspectives, identify priorities, and advocate for improvements in health service delivery.

The DSTAC also serves an advisory role by providing policy recommendations and facilitating communication between the IHS and Direct Service Tribes.

Membership:  The DSTAC is comprised of elected or appointed Tribal Leaders from nine IHS Areas with Direct Service Tribes.

See the DSTAC Committee Listing for the full roster.
