Northwest Native American Center of Excellence

The Northwest Native American Center of Excellence (NNACoE) works to sustainably address the healthcare needs of all individuals by increasing the number of AI/ANs in the U.S. healthcare professions workforce. We inspire and recruit the next generation of Native youth, train tomorrow's leaders, and retain a vibrant learning community of Indigenous learners and professionals. We guide Native students on their educational journeys, from middle school through the early stages of their careers. We offer initiatives at key moments to accelerate their success throughout their journey to becoming healthcare professionals.
