Each session will focus on a different aspect of the HIT Modernization project that IHS wishes to collect feedback and input on.

- May 9, 2024 from 1:30 - 3:00 pm ET
- August 8, 2024 from 1:30 - 3:00 pm ET
- November 7, 2024 from 1:30 - 3:00 pm ET
- Topic: Site Readiness and Training

IHS will accept written comments for 30 days following each consultation session. Written comments should be emailed to consultation@ihs.gov. More information on the sessions can be found in the Dear Tribal Leader Letter.
