President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Indian Health Service is slowly but surely moving through the confirmation process in the U.S. Senate.
The Senate Committee on Indian Affairs is due to consider the nomination of Roselyn Tso at a business meeting on Wednesday. Assuming she is approved, she will be one step closer to being confirmed as director of the IHS, the federal agency charged with delivering health care to American Indians and Alaska Natives.
“Without a doubt, there is a trust responsibility to Native Americans and Alaska Natives — specifically to healthcare — that have been documented through statute, as well as the Supreme Court decisions,” Tso said during her nomination hearing on May 25.
