University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center
The Native American Health Information Services Program connects the Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center (HSLIC) to Native Americans in New Mexico. The program offers resources to health care providers serving Native Americans and to community members of the 22 Native nations in New Mexico. The program will also address the health information needs of the Native American community at the University of New Mexico.
Native American Health Information Services are focused on health information delivery, health information training and collection development consultation.
The Native Health Database contain citations and abstracts of health-related articles, reports, surveys, and other documents pertaining to the health and health care of American Indians, Alaska Natives and Canadian First Nations. If available, a copy of the article will be sent to the requester free of charge.
