The Indigenous HIV/AIDS Syndemic Strategy

January 24, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm PST

We welcome you to join Indian Country ECHO for a Grand Rounds session focused on the Indigenous HIV/AIDS Syndemic Strategy. To support the development of comprehensive solutions to end the HIV epidemic in Indian Country, the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, alongside the Indian Health Service National HIV Program, and other partners, invite you to join a discussion on The Indigenous HIV/AIDS Syndemic Strategy: Weaving Together the National HIV, STI, and Viral Hepatitis Plans. In this presentation, Jessica Leston, Clinical Programs Director at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, will share emerging practices, existing initiatives, as well as traditional Indigenous knowledge that can be used by Tribal decision-makers to develop community-tailored interventions that address the syndemics of HIV, STIs, and viral hepatitis. CE will be available.

This one-hour Grand Rounds session includes an opportunity to engage in a didactic presentation, gain insight on how I/T/U facilities may effectively implement strategies to end the epidemics, become part of a learning community, and join multiple ECHO programs.
