Partnerships for Native Health
Partnerships for Native Health (P4NH) is a research program housed within the Institute for Research and Education to Advance Community Health (IREACH) at Washington State University. It is one of the largest research organizations in the nation devoted to the health and health care of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Formalized in 2009, the program has developed a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to achieve our mission of improving the health and well-being of American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders of all ages.
