IHS Strategic Plan FY 2019-2023
The IHS Strategic Plan FY 2019-2023 details how the IHS will achieve its mission through three strategic goals. Each goal is supported by objectives and strategies. The strategies are activities to make progress on the stated objectives. The goals and objectives are inter-related and success in one area may overlap and influence successes in other areas. Multiple sectors across the Indian health care system may contribute to the successful achievement of a goal or objective.
Mission
To raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.

It is not intended to replace or create any right, benefit, or legal responsibility, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law by a party against the U.S., its agencies, or any person.
