Testimonials

Other providers choose not to accept patients with primarily soonercare, and its almost unwelcoming. At the Little Axe Clinic, I don't experience that. The services are excellent and patients are treated with the highest regard.

"[I] used the small clinic south of Hwy 9 in Little Axe. I am very impressed witht he growth and the continued excellent care I have received over the years. The doctors, nurses, lab, wellness and pharmacy have been better than most in the private sector."

Survey Responses Needed

We are still seeking responses. The AST Health System is involved in the 2021 Community Needs Assessment Survey. We’d appreciate your help in this important survey. Generally, a community health needs assessment is conducted every three years to ensure we continue to address both changes and challenges facing the community’s health. This is meant to put a plan together to meet the communities’ needs identified by key stakeholders (Tribal officials, the AST Health System, and YOU - the patient)!
