Our Health Clinic primarily provides health care to the Ute Indians of the Uintah and Ouray (U & O) Reservation, who are the major population group in this region. A division of the Shoshoni and related to the Paiutes, the Ute Indians once roamed the territories of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The Uintah and Ouray Health Clinic encompasses the small northwestern band of Shoshone Indians, the Pai
ute Indian Tribe of Utah and the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians as well as the Ute Tribes of the Uintah and Ouray Reservations. However, only the Ute Tribes of the U & O reservations have direct access to the health center. We serve this community of about 4,250 people. The other tribes receive care through contract health services and other state-aided health care programs. Duchesne is less than 3 hours East of Salt Lake City, Utah.
