Tribal affairs
The Office of Tribal Affairs' (OTA) role within the Health Care Authority is to support, strengthen, and honor our state’s government-to-government relationship and unique partnership with Tribes. OTA works to ensure Washington state recognizes and protects the interests, rights, and sovereignty of Tribal Nations for the provision of health care for their Tribal members.
OTA guides HCA work alongside Tribes and other partners to support the health and well-being of American Indian and Alaska Native people. Some of this work includes:
- Health care coverage options
- Mental health and substance use disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery support
- Crisis services
- Transitional care planning
- Peer counseling
In addition, we partner, convene, facilitate, create policies and programs, train, support, and oversee agency efforts related to Tribes, Urban Indian Health Programs, Indian health care providers, and Tribal-serving organizations.
