NHI is closed today in observance of Memorial Day 🇺🇸 Wishing you a safe day as we reflect, remember, and honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. May your weekend be filled with reflection and gratitude. 🙏

We're raising funds for Masani's Massage this . Your donation will help fund our summer Navajo Nation Tour, allowing us to provide healing massage to our elders in the most remote locations.

Though the Masani's Massage program, NHI provides free chair massages to elders in senior centers on reservations.

Many elders experience social isolation due to geographical remoteness or lack of community resources. These factors contribute to disparities in health outcomes and quality of life among Native American elders. Senior Centers on pueblos and reservations provide a central gathering point and access to social connectedness for many people.

You can choose to support Healers of Tomorrow student community projects this . A key component of the HOT program are students' community projects. Students identify what 'community' means to them, and choose a health project to serve their community.

NHI pays for all necessary materials and associated costs for each student up to $150 each. We are seeking support in funding these meaningful projects! Check out some of the projects led by our 2025-2026 cohort!
