My visits to First Nations Community Healthsource (FNCH) have been such a great experience and FNCH has provided my family and me with outstanding services. My family and I receive all our health care needs in one community clinic from dental to WIC services. We have been receiving services for last eight years and every visit I am pleased with the care that I was provided with. There are other programs that FNCH provides that I have recommended to my friends and family, especially with Native American population because I feel that working with Native American health care providers, in any areas of care, FNCH understands the living culture and is able to provide services that will benefit those cultural areas and be sensitive.

Ya Teeh(sic), Greetings from Navajo Nation, Dine’. We have a lot of services that were rendered to us. In reference, Health, Dental, Counseling, Native American Wellness Classes. I myself El, thought my world ended because I lost my youngest son, but I came here one day and became a candidate for therapy counseling. In reference to my loss of my beloved one’s, they FNCH cared, and I realized that I was not alone. Group therapy and one-on-one counseling was super. Also being a diabetic, education, nutrition, participation was a must in my life. I’ve been here FNCH long enough and observe that everyone is helped and not turned away by the medical staff. I enjoy different routes can be taken in reference to health and wellness no matter what age. Thank You, Happy Health.
