The Absentee Shawnee Tribal Fitness Program would like introduce the new logo of the AST Fitness Program. This logo was designed to represent the Absentee Shawnee Tribe and their perseverance in creating strong and healthy tribal members. The AST Fitness Program would like to use the logo as a symbol of the strength and endurance the Absentee Shawnee people demonstrate in developing a healthier generation of Absentee Shawnee Tribal people. Each print is a representation of the clans among the Absentee Shawnee Tribe.

I hope everyone has had a great summer and enjoyed themselves at the 2012 Family Fun Fest. For those of you who didn’t hear the Music Education Program along with many other Health Programs orchestrated a night of family fun with music. Our Family Fun Fest was held on August 25, 2012 open to parents and children at the Thunderbird Casino in Little Axe. This event showcased the many talented Native Americans we have in our community. We had booths from the health system programs as well as booths from vendors outside of the tribe handing out helpful health information to make this night memorable.

As many of you know, the Little Axe Clinic opened to patient care on April 30 of this year. During the past couple of months since the clinic opened, we have had numerous compliments on the building but many complaints about the lawn.  Most of the complaints are about the tall grass and weeds. Right now, we are unable to do anything with the grass and weeds due to the contract we have with the company who placed the landscaping around the clinic.

Following the grand opening of our extraordinary Little Axe Health Center, there are some equally important changes happening to the way we will be delivering care throughout the AST medical clinics. Rest assured that like the new building, these changes are aimed squarely at providing increasingly better patient care. One new initiative is appropriately named Improving Patient Care (or IPC for short.) 

IPC was developed by the Indian Health Service (IHS) to fundamentally transform the quality of care it provides. While the IPC model is uniquely designed to improve the problems in Indian Health clinics, this approach is based on the best practices of the health care quality improvement field. Started under the leadership of former CEO Gary Wabaunsee and continued by the leadership of head clinical administrator and interim CEO Beverly Felton, our clinical staff has begun training and implementation of this exciting IPC model.  

While the effects of IPC generally start small and expand gradually, there are a few changes that you should expect to see in the next few weeks to months at our medical clinics…
