The mission of the Native American Rehabilitation Association is to provide education, physical and mental health services and substance abuse treatment that is culturally appropriate to American Indians, Alaska Natives and anyone in need. Their purpose is to achieve the highest level of physical, mental and spiritual well-being for American Indians and Alaska Native people.

  • Hire integration coordinator and hygienist
  • Develop culturally specific dental health education toolkit to include training materials, presentations, flyers and other educational tools
