New director of the Wassaja Center lays out vision to better incorporate judicial reform with scientific research
TUCSON, Ariz. - — A team of southern Arizona advocates uses its deep knowledge of public health policy and law to research ways local native tribes can enjoy a healthier quality of life.
Christina C. Bell Andrews brings her experience as a professor, law school and Masters of Public Health graduate, and a member of the Tohono O'odham Nation. Andrews, in her career, also helped establish Pima County's Juvenile Indian Child Welfare court. The team at the Wassaja Center works inside the University of Arizona's College of Medicine offices, and as a unit of the Dept. of Family and Community Medicine. Andrews said she hopes that, over time, the center builds and evolves beyond some of the work happening in other leading programs like the Johns Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health.
