California Tribal Epidemiology Center
“The California Tribal Epidemiology Center (CTEC), housed within the California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. (CRIHB), was established in 2005 to assist in collecting and interpreting health information for American Indian Alaska Natives in California. CTEC receives core funding from the Indian Health Service and operates on other grants and contracts to provide a full complement of staff. Our mission is to work directly with tribes and tribal health programs to monitor the health status of Indian people in California, and develop effective public health services that respect cultural values and traditions of our communities.”
