Clarification regarding HIX Announcemnet regarding the Native American Service Center

 
 
Last Friday at the HIX Executive board meeting there was an announcement regarding A meeting called by the Pueblo Insurance Agency, about the possible development of a Native American Service Center.  Several people including myself have been working on this idea  a long with Senator Shendo and the Pueblo Insurance Agency.  It is important that everyone understands that it is still just a working Idea. I developed the Idea took it to Senator Shendo, then to the PIA Board, and brought the Idea to members of the HIX executive board and its CEO Mike Nunez.  I wanted to know if it was a viable solution to creating a program that the Pueblos and Tribes could OWN.  After meeting with PIA and HIX to see if it was even a possibility I was then going to take it to the Pueblos, Navajo Nation and Apaches. Before I could do this HIX made the Announcement.  It was my intention to meet with CHRs then Tribal Health Programs, because they have the knowledge and experience to help develop this idea.
 
Tomorrows meeting is going to be where I presented this Idea to members of the Work group.
 
I also want to Clarify that we will be discussion HIX, including the Tribal Liaison, NASC and the NA Standing/Advisory Committee, But this is not a HIX function. NA Standing/Advisory Committees, to my knowledge, are yet to be established
 
I will be sending out some more information later this afternoon regarding tomorrows meeting
 
Thank you and hope to see you there
