Our guest on this episode is Dr. Victoria Warren-Mears, who has been the director of the Northwest Tribal Epidemiology Center for 16 years. She develops programs and initiatives to enhance the health system and promote better health outcomes for tribes in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
During the conversation, Victoria shares how she realized her desire to help people, how this led her to pursue a career in public health, and what her role entails at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board. She provides insights into the population that the center serves and the common health issues they face.
Additionally, Dr. Warren-Mears sheds light on the political status of American Indian Alaska Native people in the USA, the trust relationships between the federal government and these tribes, and what tribal sovereignty means in practice.
