Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
Despite organized efforts, Humboldt County tribes have had little improvement regarding diabetes outcomes when compared to county and state data averages. These trends suggest that regardless of advancements in therapy, monitoring and prevention there is still an issue of equity among ethnic groups in Humboldt County. This data highlights the need for an integrative and culturally centered, community based strategy that aims to improve the health outcomes and longevity of the Indigenous peoples within this shared land. By providing individualized care plans and disease process management with community engagement programs focused on relevant and accessible diet and lifestyle education there is a widened opportunity for inclusion in how nurse leaders address health care disparities.
