The Choctaw Nation Indian Hospital

     If you are interested in learning more about the Choctaw culture, you can visit the Choctaw Nation's homepage at http://www.choctawnation.com. Here many questions about the Choctaw people, services, and history can be answered.

     Located at the base of pine-covered Buffalo Mountain, with Lake Carl Albert as a backdrop, the Choctaw Nation Indian Hospital is a JCAHO-accredited facility, and the sole source of In-patient care within a 25 mile radius. The entire community depends heavily upon the hospital for emergency care. We offer a full range of medical services including surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, pharmacy, pediatrics and out-patient clinics. The community of Talihina has an abundance of out-door recreation and wonderful people, making this hospital a wonderful choice for those who enjoy wildlife, and a quiet, independent lifestyle.

     The Choctaw Nation Health Services Authority is a member of the Indian Health Services system. Since February 1, 1985 all health care facilities within the Talihina Service Unit have been managed by the Choctaw Nation under the auspices of PL 93-638, the Indian Self Determination Act; by means of a contract between the Oklahoma City Area Office of the Indian Health Service and the Health Service Authority of the Choctaw Nation. Federal dollars are earmarked for tribal use each year and technical assistance is provided by IHS personnel. Under a special memorandum of understanding between the Indian Health Service and the Choctaw Nation, physicians and other health care professionals can accept assignments at the facilities of this service unit as commissioned officers of the U.S. Public Health Service or as direct employees of the Choctaw tribe. Compensation, fringe benefits, working conditions, and personnel policies that accompany those two situations are comparable.
