- Description:
- The Native American Center Clinic in Oklahoma City was established in 1973 to provide healthcare services to Native Americans in the area. The clinic is staffed by volunteers and offers basic screening, laboratory analysis, immunizations, prenatal care, and more. The clinic relies on donations for equipment and medications, and is expanding to offer more services such as pediatric care and dental services. The clinic serves low-income patients and operates on Monday and Thursday evenings. Financial support comes from organizations such as the American Indian Lutheran Board and the United Methodist Church. Despite its efforts, the clinic is only able to address a small portion of the healthcare needs of the Native American population in Oklahoma City.
