Join us for an engaging fireside chat with the Women of NAHA (Native American Health Alliance) as they share the mission, history, and impact of the Native American Health Alliance (NAHA) at UCSF. Learn how NAHA fosters cultural understanding, raises awareness of health disparities affecting American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities, and drives meaningful campus engagement through education and advocacy. This session will highlight NAHA's efforts to promote equity and inclusion, celebrate the resilience of Indigenous women in our culture, language, and leadership, so we can strengthen our communities.
