Seattle Indian Health Board opened its doors to the community in 1970. In the 1960s, Native activists refused to let urban Indians go unseen and ignored any longer, which inspired the formation of a number of Native organizations, including Seattle Indian Health Board. For the first time, urban Indians in Seattle had access to healthcare and services by organizations that were operated by Native people, for Native people.

Today, Seattle Indian Health Board operates three sites and is preparing to open one more. SIHB currently serves approximately 7,500 Relatives.

The successful candidate will be a relationship-driven leader who builds trust across disciplines and organizational levels. They will work closely with the Chief Health Officer and other executive leaders, develop and empower behavioral health leaders and clinicians, and foster an environment of accountability, innovation, learning, and staff well-being.

Above all, the ideal candidate will approach this work with humility, respect, and a genuine commitment to Seattle Indian Health Board’s mission and Indigenous Knowledge Informed System of Care. They will respect and uphold Indigenous values and practices, listen to and learn from community, and understand that excellent behavioral healthcare must be culturally attuned, trauma-informed, accessible, and responsive to the people it serves.
