ANTLERS, OK – The Choctaw Nation Health Services Authority (CNHSA) has partnered with Oklahoma State University (OSU) Medicine to open the Antlers Community Health Clinic. The first of its kind in Oklahoma, the clinic will have a small staff onsite with providers overseeing patients virtually utilizing the latest in innovative technology.
Located in Antlers, OK, the health clinic is open to everyone, including non-tribal community members, and is designed to meet the healthcare needs of residents requiring same-day care but don’t require the needs of an emergency room.
“We are proud to bring this much-needed service to the Antlers area,” said Dr. Jason Hill, Chief Medical Officer of Choctaw Nation Health. “Our goal is to provide fast, compassionate care close to home, and to ease the burden on local emergency rooms.”
“This facility represents more than a building,” said Dr. Johnny Stephens, President, OSU Center for Health Sciences. “It represents access, equity and innovation. We are already planning a second one. It represents a healthcare gap we can address through advanced technology, innovative tools and deeply rooted partnerships. We’re expanding access to quality healthcare; it doesn’t matter what zip code you live in.”
The clinic will operate Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm, offering walk-in services for conditions such as minor injuries, infections, flu symptoms, cuts, sprains, and more. Patients must be at least two years old to be seen.
