The Health Care
Authority’s Office of Tribal Affairs has unveiled a
new state map showing the boundaries of tribal
government jurisdictions, and locations of Indian health care providers within
counties and Accountable Community of Health (ACH) regions. The map highlights
the importance of tribal communities as partners in Medicaid transformation
across the state.
Tribal Affairs
Administrator Jessie Dean explained that the purpose of the map is “to help
people see the interconnections among tribes, as both health care providers and
sovereign nations, and the ACHs – all of which are working toward better health
for the people of Washington.”
“Given the small
size of this map,” Dean noted, “we did not include the 29 different tribal service
delivery areas, which in some cases, extend across multiple ACH regions.”
