NSUOCO has partnered with the Cherokee Nation since 1979 to provide state-of-the-art eyecare to Native American citizens in northeastern Oklahoma. As a part of this partnership, NSUOCO staffs nine eye clinics across the 14-county area of the Cherokee Nation, the largest being the eye clinic at the Cherokee Nation Outpatient Health Center. Optometrists and optometry students from NSUOCO also staff eight rural Cherokee Nation health clinics as a part of the Rural Eye Program.

 

Cherokee Nation Outpatient Health Center

Located on the W.W. Hastings Hospital campus in Tahlequah, the Cherokee Nation Outpatient Health Center is the newest 469,000-square-foot, four-story outpatient health facility and the largest health center operated by the Cherokee Nation. As the largest Indian Health Service joint venture health facility in the United States, the history and culture of Cherokee Nation played an influential role in designing the health center. Consistent with Cherokee Nation’s commitment to sustainable and conscientious development, the facility will be certified as LEED Silver (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). The health center opened in October 2019, helping the tribe deliver first-class care to citizens.
