Operation Rainbow Bridge

Operation Rainbow Bridge (ORB) is a vital initiative serving the Navajo Nation, dedicated to assisting displaced citizens affected by recent fraudulent practices in rehabilitation and sober living facilities. Established by President Buu Nygren in May 2023, ORB's mission is to prevent the displacement of thousands of Navajo Tribal Members, particularly during the intense summer months in Phoenix, Arizona.

ORB operates within established state frameworks to create safe, trustworthy environments for those affected. It aims to connect displaced individuals to AHCCCS-vetted rehabilitation and mental health services or to facilitate their return to the Navajo Nation. The program not only focuses on immediate relocation but also emphasizes the completion of rehabilitation services and aftercare.

Inspired by Navajo cultural history, ORB symbolizes resilience as it strives to provide a path of support and recovery for those impacted. By leveraging social services and legal resources, the initiative plays a crucial role in protecting the wellbeing of Navajo citizens facing challenges due to Medicaid fraud.
