The Steering Committee consists of public health experts on a variety of topics related to Maternal and Child Health on the Navajo Nation. The Steering Committee meets regularly with the Healthy Navajo K’é team at Diné College to review and advise on ways to improve health outcomes on the Nation.

Guest presenters at Steering Committee meetings contribute to informed discussions on approach, resources, opportunities, and next steps. We record these presentations in their entirety, to share back with the community the latest information, perspectives, and concerns of the Committee membership.
