Direct peers

• Native American Health Center: Oakland-based Urban Indian Health Program operating multi-site community clinics with integrated medical, dental, behavioral health, and traditional healing services for AI/AN populations. Closest direct analog to SIHB's integrated care model and target population in a different metro.
• Denver Indian Health and Family Services: Urban Indian Health Program serving the AI/AN community in the Denver metro with primary care, behavioral health, and human services. Highly comparable to SIHB in mission, federal funding reliance, and integrated service portfolio.
• Oklahoma City Indian Clinic: Urban Indian health provider offering medical, dental, behavioral health, pharmacy, and WIC services to AI/AN patients in the Oklahoma City area. Similar clinical scope, payer mix, and target population as SIHB.
• Indian Health Care Resource Center of Tulsa: Urban Indian Health Program in Tulsa providing comprehensive medical, dental, behavioral health, and prevention services to AI/AN residents. Comparable integrated model and federally qualified health center structure.
• Hunter Health: Federally qualified community health center in Wichita with explicit AI/AN-serving mission and integrated medical, dental, behavioral health, and pharmacy services. Direct structural analog as a mission-driven FQHC serving Native populations.

Broad incumbents

• Indian Health Service: Federal agency within HHS that funds and operates health services for AI/AN populations. Functions as SIHB's primary funder and the broader incumbent provider of AI/AN health services nationally, setting policy and reimbursement context for urban Indian programs.

Regional players

• Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium: Tribal health system providing statewide tertiary and primary care services to Alaska Native communities. Comparable Indigenous-led integrated health system, but operating under a tribal rather than urban Indian framework in a different geography.

Others

• National Council of Urban Indian Health: National membership organization representing Urban Indian Health Programs including SIHB. Indirect peer as the convening body that shapes federal policy, advocacy, and grantmaking relevant to SIHB's operating environment.
