Implementing public health vending machines on the reservation lands of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa (United States)
The Bois Forte Band of Chippewa took swift action upon learning about the potential public health benefits of PHVMs and immediately authorized their implementation, catalyzing a collaborative effort between local community members and academic partners. Thousands of life-sustaining supplies were dispensed at the PHVMs, supporting the prevention and treatment needs of the community.
