Consultations and meetings
Tribal consultations and roundtables
What is the difference between a roundtable and a consultation?
- At a roundtable, the main goal is to give and receive information.
- At a consultation, the main goals are to address issues and concerns, and make decisions.
Tribes or the Health Care Authority (HCA) can initiate consultations and roundtables.
