The Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health was founded at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in 1991, based on two decades of collaboration between Hopkins   health experts and Indian communities.  The Center’s mission is to work in partnership with tribes to research, design, implement, and evaluate interventions to raise the health and well-being of American Indians to the highest possible level.  All programs are crafted to increase the skill and capacity of tribes.  Each initiative includes a training and employment component to ensure that indigenous workers carry out the work. For the NativeVision program, the Center provides ongoing technical expertise to Native communities to support all aspects of the planning, design, implementation and evaluation of the NativeVision programs. Johns Hopkins employs local program coordinators to oversee the day-to-day operations of  NativeVision on the reservations involved.
