History
The Tuolumne Rural Indian Health Project (TRIHP) was established in 1969 by the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians to provide health services to Indians living at the Tuolumne Rancheria. In 1970, TRIHP participated in eight other autonomous Indian health projects and formed the California Rural Indian Health Board, Inc. (CRIHB). Soon after, it became apparent that other Indians living in surrounding areas needed access to these services as well. MACT (Mariposa, Amador, Calaveras Tuolumne) Health Board, Inc. MACT now has medical, dental, behavioral health, optometry, and chiropractic services available to patients in the counties of operation including American Indians and non-natives.
