About Us

CCUIH supports health promotion and access for American Indians living in cities throughout California. Established in 2006, CCUIH is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) statewide alliance of Urban Indian health organizations, and substance abuse treatment facilities collectively referred to as UIHOs. By blending the leadership and experience of our consortium members with shared resource development, and by combining applied research with educational and policy advocacy efforts, CCUIH offers innovative strategies to support the health and wellness needs of the Urban Indian community in California.

Mission

CCUIH's mission is to facilitate shared development resources for our members and to raise public awareness

in order to support a health and wellness network that meets the needs of American Indians living in urban communities.

Vision

CCUIH is united in the fight against the inequities in health care, substance abuse, and social services, and the effort to

address the health disparities that cripple American Indians living in urban communities. We envision a future when each

generation is healthier and stronger than the last, and a legacy of well-being for our people has been established.
