County and Tribal partners

At UCare, we work with counties and Tribes to identify and respond to the health needs of our members. Learn more about UCare and how we can work together to better serve our community.

County and Tribal visits

Each month, UCare meets with representatives from counties and Tribal nations to go over UCare updates and to discuss concerns, questions and opportunities to serve the community.

To schedule a meeting, contact the County and Tribal Team Representative assigned to your area (see map), or email ucarecountyrelations@ucare.org. We offer both in-person and virtual meetings.
