Health News

The Oklahoman Newspaper Article on OK Native Impact

Tribes' impact on state nearly $13B in 2017, officials say. Click on link below.

https://oklahoman.com/gallery/6040476/oklahoma-native-impact-study

One of the largest and most impactful contributions by 38 federally recognized tribes has been in health care. Oklahoma tribes make millions in payments to Oklahoma health care entities every year when a tribal citizen is referred to private health care providers. In addition, many tribes own and operate hospitals and health centers across the state that serve both Native Americans and non-Native American community members.

National Children's Dental Health Month

We would like to encourage all Native children and Non-Native SoonerCare children to schedule an appointment at our clinic during the month of February.

"It is so hard for me to get health and dental care from my tribe. Recently I drove to your clinic in Little Axe and I was so pleased with the kind of treatment that the staff afforded me. I was so relieved that my girls and I can get treatment there with your great array of treatment possibilities. We the members of the Indian Nations of Central Oklahoma are so fortunate to have your clinic to so efficiently deal with our health care needs. Many blessings to you and the people of the AST who make this wonderful clinic possible."
