NASHP Webinar: States and Tribes Working Together to Improve the Long-Term Care Delivered to American Indian/Alaska Native Elders and Their Caregivers
The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is holding a webinar July 15 on, "States and Tribes Working Together to Improve the Long-Term Care Delivered to American Indian/Alaska Native Elders and Their Caregivers."
Many American Indian/American Alaskan (AI/AN) Elders and people with disabilities would benefit from long term services and supports (LTSS) and tribes often deliver services such as transportation, meals, and home health to members. However, they often fund these services through tribal funds due to lack of funding from other sources.
The webinar will examine the current LTSS needs and sources in AI/AN communities and then explore efforts in two states to work with Tribes to improve the access of AI/AN to these services. Speakers include:
- Patricia Sutton (Navajo/Diné, Cheyenne/Tsitsistas, and Arapaho/Hinónoʼeitíít), Tribal Liaison, Division of Aging and Adult Services, Arizona Department of Economic Security
- Elaina Seep, Policy Specialist, National Resource Center on Native American Aging
- Dr. Jasmine Grika (Cheyenne River Sioux/Red Lake Nation), Tribal Collective Supervisor, Transitions, Tribal, Transformations Division, Minnesota Department of Human Services
- John A. Anderson, Money Follows the Person Tribal Initiative Project Lead, Minnesota Department of Human Services
