Meet Janice Briones-Landeros, Healthcare Operations Director for United American Indian Involvement (UAII)!

In this episode, she talks to us about her journey from for-profit healthcare to leading LA County’s only urban Indian organization. She explores UAII’s 51-year legacy and its comprehensive “one-stop shop” model, which provides medical, dental, behavioral, youth, housing, and workforce services while preserving a “Native way” of care.

We loved hearing about Janice's innovative outreach strategies and street medicine initiatives - and how community-driven efforts during the LA fires led to the creation of a free “People’s Store.” She also highlights the integration of traditional and Western medicine and the need for clinician self-care to prevent burnout and sustain good healthcare delivery.

Tune in to hear Janice's ideas on comprehensive care, community resilience, and holistic well-being!
