.IHSGov is announcing the national expansion of the Community Health Aide Program. The program provides education & training of tribal community health providers to increase access to quality health care, health promotion and disease prevention services.
to ensure that the questions and concerns from tribes, tribal organizations and urban Indian organizations across the country were being adequately represented. To better understand the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native communities prior to CHAP expansion, the IHS participated in numerous listening sessions, focus groups, and planning meetings.
Leveraging innovative workforce models that prioritize direct health care, CHAP is vital to rural and remote communities across Indian Country as the need for access to care in primary, dental, and behavioral health increases. Federal law requires all health aides to be certified by the IHS to provide services under a CHAP.
The IHS is taking a phased implementation approach, starting with tribal consultation on $5 million in funding from Fiscal Year 2020 to support key components. These include establishing certification boards at the IHS Area and national levels to begin certifying providers in the lower 48, increasing community education on the role of CHAP across Indian Country, investing into training within tribal communities, and providing additional support to tribally-operated programs.
The Alaska CHAP was established in 1968 to provide a broad range of primary care services to residents of remote areas that would otherwise not have access to consistent medical care. Today in Alaska, more than 50,000 patients in remote villages throughout the state are treated by village-based health aides.
