Diné Community Advocacy Alliance (DCAA)
NAVAJO NATION
DCAA was formed in 2011 as a response to the high rates of obesity, diabetes, and the complications of these health issues among children, youth, families, adults, and elders living in the Navajo communities. Navajo Nation is a 27,000-square-mile area in 3 states—Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah.
Mission
DCAA is comprised of grassroots level community health advocates from various communities to raise awareness, inform, educate, and mobilize community members to combat obesity, diabetes, and other chronic health issues.
