Big Results from a Small Clinic: NACC is Tops in Child Asthma Education & Self-management!

The Native American Community Clinic (NACC) is a Federally Qualified Health Center offering a full range of health services (medical, dental, and behavioral health) and community focused care. NACC has approximately 17,000 patient visits every year and 85% of their population is Native American.  Their mission is to serve the Native American community with programs designed around that purpose.
