On September 5, 2025, the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe had the pleasure of hosting the United South & Eastern Tribes (USET) Epidemiology Team. Housed in the USET Tribal Epidemiology Center (TEC), the Epidemiology Team provides a range of services to USET Tribes, including active infectious disease surveillance and other types of technical assistance.
The USET Epidemiologist team toured SRMT health care facilities and had the opportunity to meet with the Tribal Council to discuss the challenges of disease surveillance, case investigations, and data collection in a multi-jurisdictional community.
The Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Council extends gratitude to the USET Epidemiology Team for visiting Akwesasne to provide insight on these issues important to the health of Akwesasro:non and our neighbors. By promoting the exchange of knowledge and forming strong partnerships between Tribal-serving Public Health Authorities and Tribal Leaders, we can help ensure healthy Indigenous communities.
