We encourage patients to have a primary care provider who is available at the nearest clinic. This provider can help them prevent disease, manage health problems and maintain health. The CHN can help patients recognize health problems and assist them in obtaining needed care. We encourage our patients who are on medications to be seen at as often as recommended by their primary care provider. The CHT & CHN provide support for elders living at home to remain independent and assist in coordinating resources to stay at home for as long as possible.
We encourage patients to call the Newberry Community Health Center at 906-293-8181 for appointments or service requests. The CHT & CHN can help coordinate future medical appointments at one of the four main Tribal Health Clinics. After hours, please call your primary health clinic to obtain assistance in seeking after-hours medical care.

Traditional Medicine
The Traditional Medicine Program, established in 1995, was the first tribal traditional medicine program in the United States integrated into a tribal health delivery system. It has become recognized and accepted within the tribal community and has served as a model for traditional medicine programs offered by other tribes.
