November is Native American Heritage Month! Throughout this month, we’re sharing about Native American heritage and how it impacts our society. Healthcare wouldn’t be what it is today without the crucial contributions of Native Americans.

The first baby bottles were invented by the Iroquois and Seneca tribes, using a hollowed bird’s quill. In some areas, baby formula was made from ground walnuts and water.

Native Americans chewed willow bark to ease pain. The active ingredient in the bark, salicin, was the basis in the discovery of aspirin.

Indigenous communities created the first syringe using sharpened hollowed-out bird bone connected to an animal bladder that could hold and inject fluids into the body.

Native Americans mixed plants with water to create products that protected skin from the sun, including sunflower oil, wallflower, and sap from aloe plants.

"Feels like being in a grand hotel."

"Wonderful activities for my mother ..."

“I was so worried mom would hibernate in her apartment, but The Stafford’s Social Wellness Program has created an atmosphere where she feels safe and that someone is looking out for her. Since moving here, she is so busy with all the wonderful activities she barely has time to fit me into her busy schedule. We are so happy she is here. She is, too.” … A happy family member
