Indian Health Center at Santa Clara Valley

About Us

Mission

Our mission is to help ensure the healing and wellness of American Indians, Alaskan Natives and the greater community by providing high quality, comprehensive health care and cultural services.

Approach to programming

Strengthening Youth and Families programming revolves around the principle that Native American mental health and Native American culture are intertwined. All programming offers instruction in cultural skill-building and values as well as a connection to the broader Santa Clara County Native community. Many folks in urban areas are denied access to cultural resources, and this programming offers them an opportunity to find community and healing in a cultural context. In this way, Native Americans in Santa Clara County are rising above historical trauma and creating a healthy, happy, and strong community.
