The importance of staying hydrated in cooler months

When the temperatures drop, it’s easy to forget the importance of staying hydrated. In cooler months, we often don’t feel as thirsty, but our bodies still need plenty of water to function at their best. Dehydration can happen in winter too, leading to fatigue, dry skin, and weakened immunity.

Native American Heritage Month Is a Time to Cherish Resources

Native American Heritage Month brings to mind the need to maintain Native American traditions, culture, and to remember our history.

Since my family and tribe continue to work on maintaining our traditions and culture throughout the year, now would be a good time to share part of our family traditions and culture. Moreover, it is a time to show the need for a continued resource to practice our tradition and culture.

Native American Heritage Month is a time to celebrate and raise awareness

Thank you for taking the time to read my blog today. My name is Amber Williams, and I am a proud citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation and a board member of Hunter Health. This Native American Heritage Month is particularly meaningful to me — a true full-circle moment.

Walking in Beauty: Family, Heritage, and Public Health

As a Diné (Navajo) tribal member born and raised on the reservation, my journey is deeply rooted in the values and resilience of my community. Growing up without running water, easy access to a grocery store, or affordable and quality healthcare, I witnessed firsthand the disparities that affect many Native American communities.
