In 1999, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma was the first tribe to build its own hospital with its own funding. The Choctaw Nation Health Care Center is a 145,000 square foot health facility with 37 hospital beds for inpatient care and 52 exam rooms. The shining 22 million dollar hospital, complete with 6 million dollars of state-of-the-art equipment and furnishings, is located in Talihina, OK. This is the center or hub of our health care services covering the 10 1/2 counties of southeastern Oklahoma.
Choctaw Nation Health Servicers provides more than just hospital care. In addition to being a 37 bed hospital, the Talihina facility houses dental, eye care, laboratory, x-ray, CT and MRI scanning, mammography, ultrasound, pharmacy, primary medical care, surgical, emergent care, physical and respiratory therapy, transportation, women’s health, pediatrics, podiatry, telemedicine and ophthalmology. Also on campus is a diabetic wellness facility with a fitness center. And just north of our hospital campus are our women’s and men’s substance abuse facilities.
One of the great benefits to the Choctaw Nation health Services is that the areas of care are located in many cities so that they can provide health care close to where their patients live. The health system has seven outlying clinics located in: Atoka, Broken Bow, Hugo, Idabel, McAlester, Poteau and Stigler.
Boasting a multi-specialty medical staff, our hospital renders medical care through both inpatient services and over 190,000 outpatient visits annually.
Our mission is “To provide the highest quality care to the people we serve.” We are relentless and uncompromising as we fulfill our mission to improve the health of the people we serve. Honoring our values of compassion, accountability, respect, and excellence compels us to do no less.
