Bonnie Hillsberg, DC, MHA, MEd, writes that " Aside from practicing part time, I have a new position which I am very excited about.  I have been appointed the Senior Program Manager for Public Health Programs at the National Indian Health Board (NIHB).  NIHB advocates on behalf of all Tribal Governments and American Indians/Alaskan Natives in their efforts to provide quality health care.  My role is to increase public health capacity in all of Indian Country, which includes injury prevention, diabetes, obesity, cancer, chronic disease, elder care, HIV/AIDS, tobacco, substance abuse, suicide prevention and other health issues that effect Native American and Alaskan Native communities."
