Dr. Antony Stately: Building Health Equity in Indigenous Communities

Today, we're excited to welcome Dr. Antony Stately to Native Lights. Antony Stately is a transformative leader dedicated to health equity in Indigenous communities. He's enrolled with the Oneida Nation, and he's a descendant of both the Red Lake and White Earth nations here in Minnesota, and he has two sons. He's currently the Executive Officer and President for the Native American Community Clinic in South Minneapolis, providing primary care, dental care and behavioral health services to the Native American community in the Twin Cities. Antony gives updates on the long-awaited new Native American Community Clinic building and shares his hope that it can be a space where Indigenous people recognize, from the moment they enter, that it's a place for them and where they belong. He also reflects on his youth and the early addictions that eventually led to a hospital room and a transformative moment that changed the trajectory of his life.-----Hosts / Producers: Leah Lemm, Cole Premo Editor: Britt Aamodt Editorial support: Emily Krumberger Mixing & mastering: Chris Harwood -----For the latest episode drops and updates, follow us on social media. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ampersradio/">instagram.com/ampersradio</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mnnativenews/">instagram.com/mnnativenews</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/MNNativeNews/">facebook.com/MNNativeNews</a>Never miss a beat.
