with Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board and We R Native to empower Native voices. The scarcity of Indigenous role models and mentors in the medical system is a real barrier to Native youth pursuing a career in healthcare.

Taylor Dean (Puyallup) Outreach Specialist with NPAIHB’s Healthy Native Youth program
Taylor Dean (Puyallup) is an Outreach Specialist with Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB)’s Healthy Native Youth program, who uses their art degree to make an impact in public health! 🎨✨
From designing engaging presentations and infographics to creating powerful social media content, Taylor’s work reflects their dedication to their community.
83% of Native Americans have experienced some form of violence, often at the hands of an intimate partner (National Institute of Justice).
It’s a critical reminder of why working on public health initiatives is so important. By pursuing a career in healthcare, you can make a direct impact, helping address issues like domestic violence and giving back to your community in meaningful ways. Join us in building a future of healing and resilience. 🌿

The places where we learn, work, and play all have an impact on our health. People who work in public health are community protectors. To hear diverse Indigenous voices, and the pathways you can take to work in public health, text INSPIRE to 94449. What’s your path?
