We are proud to bring to the Native American community a new era of healthcare not only in the physical sense - with new buildings and facilities and technology - but in the philosophical sense as well. We are committed to setting in motion a new era of healthcare; one that will redefine the standards by which we have both received care and cared for ourselves.
Learn the Skill of Canning Salsa with Little Axe Resource Center!
Salsa is good any time of year, and now you can learn how to make and preserve your own! Join the Absentee Shawnee Tribe's TOR (Tribal Opioid Response) office for a hands-on canning class.
This is a great opportunity to increase your skills, boost your self-confidence, and take home some delicious, homemade salsa.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Kevin Young as our new Optometrist, who is already receiving high praise from the community. More frames and lens options are now available thanks to our teaming up with Thundercloud Optical in Omaha, Nebraska. Order placement and delivery can be expected to take 4-5 days now, down from the previous 10-15 days.
We are in the process of expanding the number of exam rooms at the Shawnee Clinic from four to eight. We welcome Dr. John Jutting, MD to our medical staff, and will be bringing more health care providers on board to offer more services in the near future.
Our Shawnee Clinic Pharmacy is now filling prescriptions for all Native Americans, and is now open through the lunch hour.
The LSWN Clinic is located off Highway 9 in the Little Axe/Norman area, across the road from our existing Little Axe Tribal Clinic. The physical address of the new clinic is 15951 Little Axe Drive in Norman, OK 73026.
We are expecting to open to the public in May 2012 and are very excited about our future capacity to serve the community.
