For Native American Heritage Month:  Celebration of PIRE Research Scientist, Dr. Emily Haozous

November 20, 2023

This Native American Heritage month PIRE celebrates the many accomplishments of our colleague Emily Haozous (Chiricahua Fort Sill Apache) PhD, RN, FAAN.

Dr. Haozous is a nurse and Research Scientist with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation’s Southwest Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Dr. Haozous’ research is guided by the health and wellness priorities of the Native American partners with whom she collaborates. Her publications cover a broad range of topics according to the priorities of those communities, from cancer pain management and cancer decision-making, telehealth and video conferencing, complementary and alternative therapies for pain management, to issues in racial misclassification, national trends in premature mortality, deaths of despair, and issues of health equity.

Dr. Haozous has a background in hospice and palliative care nursing and is dedicated to policy changes that bring equitable healthcare access for Native Americans. She is a long-serving member of the Southwest Tribal Institutional Review Board and Tribal Appointee to the New Mexico Department of Health Native American Tribal Advisory Council, and recently completed service as an appointed member of the National Institute on Nursing Research Working Group on Diversity.

 Among her many contributions to science are:
