description:
D’Shane Barnett discusses his role as executive director of the All Nations Health Center as well as his role as the health officer and director of the Missoula City-County Health Department during the COVID pandemic. Barnett is Native American and All Nations Health Center is a clinic that integrates culturally based, holistic health services for Native Americans and the surrounding community. Barnett discusses how the clinic operates, how it responded to the COVID pandemic, and his sense of how COVID intersected with Native American health issues in the community. Barnett then discusses how he shifted to becoming health officer and director of the Missoula City-County Health Department in May of 2021, and how his previous experience in Native American health care shaped his approach to that position. Barnett details how vaccine rollout programs went, inter-governmental relations, the importance of public health communication and education, and the way that broader social structures limit what can be done in an emergency.
