Protecting our communities has been a classic for generations. Today, vaccines help shield children from more diseases than ever before. And when children are vaccinated, they help protect Elders and relatives, too.

Press play on the tradition: ask a trusted health provider how to keep your child on schedule.

Paige hopes to one day become a lawyer to help protect Native resources and create more opportunities for future generations. As Chair, she brings fresh ideas and a strong focus on the wellbeing, safety, and voices of youth in our community.

Fun fact: While visiting Senator Mark Kellyโ€™s office, Paige asked if she could try on the astronaut space suit, and she did!

We are proud to have Paige helping lead the Hรณzhรณ Horizons Youth Council. ๐ŸŒฑโœจ
