April 7, 2026 – Indigenous Healthcare Advancements (IHA) is proud to announce the launch of the IHA Health Equity Dashboard, a free, publicly accessible data visualization tool designed to bring transparency and visibility to the healthcare disparities facing Tribal communities across the United States.
The dashboard is available now at indigenous.health/equity-dashboard, with no login or subscription required.
Why We Built This
At IHA, our commitment to Tribes goes beyond consulting. It means making meaningful data accessible, transparent, and actionable for the leaders who need it most.
For too long, the data that defines healthcare equity in Indian Country has been buried across disconnected federal databases, locked behind paywalls, or presented in formats that were never designed with Tribal communities in mind. Tribal health directors, council members, and planners deserve better. They deserve tools that center their communities and speak directly to the challenges they face every day.
We built the Health Equity Dashboard to change that.
What the Dashboard Delivers
The IHA Health Equity Dashboard provides Tribal leaders, health planners, researchers, and advocates with clear, visual insight into the key indicators driving health disparities in Tribal communities, including:
Health Equity Index
A composite view of healthcare equity across Tribal service areas, synthesizing multiple disparity indicators into a single, comparable measure
Diabetes
Prevalence data and trend visualization for one of the most persistent chronic conditions affecting American Indian and Alaska Native populations
Behavioral Health
Data on behavioral health access and burden, reflecting the crisis-level need for mental health and substance use services across Indian Country
Funding Gap
Visualization of the gap between actual healthcare funding levels and what is needed to meet community demand, a core barrier to Tribal health system sustainability
Uninsured Rates
Coverage gap analysis highlighting the communities where residents are most likely to lack health insurance, with a focus on Tribal populations
Every metric is tribally focused, meaning the data is presented through the lens of the communities IHA serves, not as a footnote in a national average.
Built for Transparency and Informed Decision Making
The dashboard was designed with one principle in mind: informed decision making starts with visibility. Tribal leaders cannot advocate effectively for their communities without access to clear, current, and relevant data. Policy makers cannot direct resources where they are needed most without understanding where the gaps are deepest.
By making this tool free and publicly available, IHA is reinforcing our belief that data transparency is a prerequisite for health equity. No paywall. No login. Just the information your community needs to plan, advocate, and lead.
How to Use It
Visit indigenous.health/equity-dashboard from any device. The dashboard is interactive and designed to be used in council presentations, grant applications, strategic planning sessions, and community health assessments.
If this tool is useful to your community, we encourage you to share it with your tribal health director, council, or planning team. The more eyes on this data, the stronger the advocacy.
