FULTON, MI – The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) has appointed Chairperson Jamie Stuck of the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi to the HRSA Tribal Advisory Council (TAC). Stuck will serve as the Bemidji Area Delegate for a two-year term.
“Bringing to light the disproportionate health disparities our Indigenous communities face through this council is a huge honor,” said Stuck. “I am humbled to serve all the tribal citizens in the Bemidji Area as its delegate to the Health Resources and Services Administration Tribal Advisory Council.”
Established in 2021, the TAC provides a forum for meetings between elected tribal officials (or their designated representatives) and HRSA officials to exchange views, share information and seek advice concerning intergovernmental responsibilities related to the implementation and administration of HRSA programs.
The TAC helps ensure that tribes have meaningful and timely input into HRSA policies, programs and priorities. The TAC supports, but does not supplant, other government-to-government consultation activities that HRSA undertakes.
