Tribal Innovations Update: Chickasaw Nation Begins Construction on 160-acre Health Campus

The medical campus will include twelve buildings, a hospital, an outpatient clinic, and more than twenty-three specialties.

From the Chickasaw Nation press release:

Upon completion, the facility will grow to include a nearly 2.5 million-square-foot medical campus with 140 inpatient beds and will employ more than 5,500 staff. It is expected to serve more than 100,000 First Americans in the region.

“This campus will do things most hospitals cannot. We are building medical residencies, training the next generation of doctors right here in Oklahoma, and in Newcastle,” Governor Anoatubby said. “We are building a First American research center owned and operated by a tribal nation, the first of its kind anywhere in the country.”

Chickasaw Nation Governor Chris Anoatubby, center, is joined by Chickasaw Nation elected officials and leadership staff, federal and state officials, and community leaders July 31 in groundbreaking ceremonies for the Chickasaw Nation Health Newcastle Medical Center, marking a significant investment in First American healthcare access in the Oklahoma City area.
