Health Issues among the Umatilla Tribe[edit | edit source]

The Umatilla Tribe has faced several health challenges, many of which are common among Native American populations. These include higher rates of diabetes, heart disease, and obesity compared to the general U.S. population. The tribe has implemented several initiatives to address these issues, including health education programs and access to healthcare services.

Environmental Health in Umatilla County[edit | edit source]

Umatilla County is home to the Umatilla Chemical Depot, a site that was used for the storage and disposal of chemical weapons. The depot was closed in 2011, but its legacy has had significant impacts on the environmental health of the region. The Environmental Protection Agency has been involved in cleanup efforts to mitigate the effects of the depot on the local environment and the health of the county's residents.
