Today’s groundbreaking for the Chickasaw Nation Health Newcastle Medical Center marks a significant milestone in the Chickasaw Nation’s ability to deliver accessible, quality health services to Chickasaws and other First Americans in Oklahoma.
Our tribe has worked for decades to offer increased health and wellness programs and services. Since becoming one of the first tribes in the U.S. to compact with the Indian Health Service (IHS) to operate our own healthcare system in 1994, we have continued to make great progress, including the construction of the Chickasaw Nation Medical Center in Ada, the development of health clinics throughout the Chickasaw Nation and continually expanding resources that support better health.
We look forward to the positive impact this new medical center will make in the lives of First Americans, as well as future generations who will benefit from greater healthcare opportunities.
