Our Mission

Round Valley Indian Health Center is dedicated to raising the health status of American Indians and other local community members to the highest possible level. The health center is dedicated not only to providing treatment but prevention and patient education. The Health Center also recognizes Traditional Medicine and holistic healing as a viable means for mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual health.

The Round Valley Indian Health Center is a non-profit corporation established in 1968, designed to offer health care to the people of our community. The Health Center is located in Covelo, a remote valley community in Northern Mendocino County, 25 miles east of Highway 101 and an additional 15 miles from the nearest hospital and emergency services in Willits, California. The Round Valley Indian Health Center provides primary health care to approximately 3,000 people living in Covelo and the adjacent Round Valley Indian Reservation. The Reservation was established in 1856 and is the ancestral homeland of seven Indian Tribes. The Health Center staff is dedicated not only to treatment, prevention, and patient education but also recognizes traditional Indian Medicine and holistic healing.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) — Take Care of Your Health

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) — Take Care of Your Health

Know the facts: A blood pressure below 120/80 is normal; 120–129/80 is elevated; 130+ on top or 80+ on the bottom is hypertension. Hypertension often has no symptoms — some people may experience headaches, shortness of breath, or nosebleeds. Effects can include stroke, heart failure, kidney problems, eye problems, and dementia. You can manage high blood pressure without medication by eating a healthy diet, getting regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol, not smoking, and getting 7–9 hours of sleep each night. Check your blood pressure starting at age 18; age 40 or older, check every year.
