The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary’s Tribal Advisory Committee (STAC) met in September in Washington, D.C. The STAC is the first cabinet level group of its kind and it advises Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on health and human services programs that benefit American Indians and Alaska Natives. During this meeting, the STAC met with the Secretary and discussed several topics, including the Affordable Care Act implementation, better grant access, eligibility and outreach to tribes, expansion of self-governance in HHS, and tribal consultation.
