Southern Plains Tribal Health Board

The Southern Plains Tribal Health Board (SPTHB) is a nonprofit
organization based in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The health board was established in 1972 to provide a
unified voice on tribal public health needs and policy for
the 43 federally recognized tribes located in the states of
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Board membership includes
representatives from the 12 service units in the Indian
Health Service (IHS) Oklahoma Area.

The SPTHB serves as a liaison between the National
Indian Health Board and the 43 federally recognized tribes
in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Our role is to improve
tribal public health outcomes for American Indians through
partnerships, advocacy, education, data and research, as
well as training.
