Registered Nurse - Obstetrics

Oklahoma City Area Indian Health Services

The Oklahoma City area Indian Health Service serves the state of Oklahoma, Kansas, and portions of Texas. Oklahoma is home to more than 39 Tribes and Tribal Organizations, a unique characteristic of the Oklahoma City area because many Tribes have opted to operate their own health programs, including large-scale hospitals to the smaller preventive care programs in behavioral health programs. The area consists of eight service units with federally operated hospitals clinics and smaller health stations.

The large number of tribal health care facilities in programs is an accurate reflection of the partnerships and cooperation the Oklahoma City area has with the tribes in their area as they join together to fulfill the health care needs of their community. Services for this position are specifically for the Claremore Indian Hospital and the Lawton Indian Hospital.
