What We Do

Our Guiding Principles:

High-quality maternal and infant healthcare, including prenatal, delivery, postnatal, well baby, and reproductive health care, family planning, HIV/AIDS testing and treatment, and community health outreach; all provided with respect, available 24×7, accessible to all, culturally appropriate, no financial barriers, and with personal relationships to families in our zone of service.
Indigenous management, with local staffing, and programs for professional development.
Innovative and efficient use of technology, including electronic medical records, telemedicine through IM and internet, and specially designed assessment tools.
