Meet Community Health Worker Miranda Keifer!

Hello! My name is Miranda Keifer, and I have been a Community Health Worker for nine years. I am a proud enrolled Ponca member and mother to one daughter. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time at home with my family.

One of the things I enjoy most about working for the Tribe is the relationships I have built with our members and clients over the years. Helping people connect with the services and resources they need is something I truly enjoy. Building strong foundations and trusted relationships with our families is such an important part of being a Community Health Worker.

Working for the Tribe has also given me the opportunity to continue learning about our culture, which has become very near and dear to my heart. Staying connected to our culture and helping our families build those same connections is something I value deeply.

Our Tribe continues to grow, and it is a beautiful thing to witness.

Meet Community Health Worker Nancie Velasquez!

Hello! My name is Nancie Velasquez, and I am the Community Health Manager. I am a proud enrolled Ponca member and have had the privilege of working for the Tribe for 12 years.

I enjoy planning events and creating opportunities that bring our community together, but where I truly shine is advocating for our patients and providing case management. Helping our members navigate resources, overcome barriers, and make sure their voices are heard is one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.

I am incredibly blessed to work alongside such a dedicated team of Community Health Workers. Together, we have continued to grow and strengthen our CHW program, and I am proud of what we have accomplished.

My goal is to continue building a program that provides meaningful support to our members and becomes a model that other Tribal CHW programs can look to and learn from.

At the heart of everything we do is one purpose: serving our people, strengthening our community, and making sure our members know they have someone in their corner.
