Gathering Grounds Community Meeting III: What are the practices/resources/tools that are working for your community?
This is an opportunity to collaborate and share our experiences with addressing COVID-19 with Tribal and Urban Indian communities.
For our next meeting, we will be joined by the Public Health Director of the Lummi Tribal Health Center, Cristina J. Toledo-Cornell, MD-MPH.
Please come prepared with a question for Dr. Toledo-Cornell. She is originally from Brazil, and studied at Weill Medical College at Cornell University in New York City. Dr. Toledo-Cornell holds a master’s in public health from The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She has worked with the Lummi Nation for two years and is coordinating the COVID-19 response at the Lummi Tribal Health Center.
As well as your questions, you may also bring one resource to share or a resource you are looking for (e.g., templates, tools, listservs, informatics). At the end, we will provide a list of resources that were discussed and make these available on our website. Please consider inviting one other person to attend the gathering as well.
We look forward to hosting this meeting Thursday, April 16 at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET.
About Our Practice
The Seven Sacred Directions
Seven Directions was born from a desire to create greater connectivity across the many tribes, communities and organizations that have the health and wellness of American Indian and Alaska Native people at the heart of what they do. We are guided by the “seven directions” of practice: Integration & Holistic Wellness, Culture & Identity, Families & Communities, Respect for Sovereignty, Service, Indigenous Knowledge, and Tribal Governance.
The Seven Sacred Directions serve as an indigenous framework for presenting the strategic directions for the public health agenda.
