Stephen Kutz, American Indian Health Commission chairman, said he started doing home visits as a nurse in 1981 with military families. He supervised it for 13 years and emphasized the importance of nurse home visiting. “Just some contact, someone they

And each tribe is different. Hunter said there are 10 different models of how home visits are set

Environmental factors also pose risks for many Native American and African-American communities. These include lead and pollution exposure, lack of safe communities

Kutz said young parents need interactions with people they trust because members of these two groups may not have trust with people in their lives — even their families, he said. Getting medical messages out

The network is made up of 28 churches and

The role of a health minister is to get information from nurses and take it into their communities and congregations where trust is already strong and where members feel culturally safe. “It takes a lot of different ways to reach pregnant women,” Johnson said.
