Since 1980 the American Society for Circumpolar Health (ASCH) has sought to improve and maintain the health of the circumpolar people in the United States, and to promote and support the efforts of all circumpolar peoples in the attainment of better health. The ASCH is one of the 5 adhering bodies of the International Union for Circumpolar Health. Circumpolar is defined as including all Arctic and sub-Arctic areas of the world including the United States which includes all Indigenous Peoples of the circumpolar world and United States. The
ASCH encourages you to organize your research and share it with the
rest of the circumpolar health community in preparation for the upcoming
International Polar Year, 2007-08. This
time around there will be a significant human health component in
the research through the Arctic Human Health Initiative. The
ASCH wants to join with you to share your research and celebrate the
beginning of the International Polar Year
by attending the Gateway to the International Polar Year being held
at the 13th International Congress on Circumpolar
Health (ICCH). The 13th ICCH will be held in Novosibirsk, Siberia,
June 12-16, 2006.
