VIII Navajoland

I serve in a community that is limited by the options of proper health care benefits, as I am part of a high populated tribal entity but have major restrictions to health care and wellness benefits. The history of wellness for my "dine'" Navajo people have not always been supported by wholehearted and well intentions of a nation. Still today the health care and wellness system have flaws that allows individuals such as me to slip through the cracks of getting adequate health care and wellness services. A larger issue of selfcare among our community has always left our leadership to fend for themselves when it comes to answering God's call to serve the communities that surround us.
