Respect, learn, and share.
The goal of the first “Gathering of Good Minds: Engaging Native Americans In Wellness” project is to build trust and lasting partnerships that will lay the groundwork for UC faculty, providers, and Native American patients in the Riverside/San Bernardino area to address patient well-being and chronic health concerns. The faculty from University of California Irvine and Riverside and Riverside/San Bernardino County Indian Health Inc (RSBCIHI) represent the collaboration for this Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute, Engagement Award.

The second, Gathering of Good Minds project produced the Historical Wisdom Podcast. The podcast is a conversation with Native Americans living in Inland Southern California about their health experiences and what health care providers should know about how history affects physical health, well-being, and daily interactions. We focus on the concept of historical trauma in the hopes that sharing this information will turn into knowledge and then into wisdom that can transform the delivery of health care. The Historical Wisdom Podcast is produced by the Chihuum Piiuywmk Inach/Gathering of Good Minds Project, a collaboration between Riverside/San Bernardino Indian Health, Inc. and the University of California. Our project is funded by an Engagement Award from the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
