American Indian Health and Family Services of Southeastern Michigan is a Detroit-based nonprofit health center that works to empower and enhance the physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being of American Indian and Alaska Native individuals and other underserved populations in the region through culturally grounded health and family services. The organization’s approach integrates traditional Native American healing and spiritual practices with contemporary western medicine to offer medical care, behavioral health care, and community health and family wellness services. Other services include food and energy assistance and programs for youth to learn about Native American culture and traditions as well as healthy lifestyles. The center, located at 4880 Lawndale St. on the city’s west side, (operates from a former church and neighboring homes) is offering drive-through COVID-19 testing as a way to continue its services. No prescription is needed to be tested, and pedestrians and bicyclists can also use the drive-through service.
