FYI:

This week has been an immense honor for Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority as we welcomed a delegation from Cherokee Nation for an in-depth look at CIHA’s Behavioral Health continuum.

The model of care we’ve built is rooted in the vision and collaboration we received years ago from Southcentral Foundation. Because of that, we believe it is our responsibility to pay it forward by sharing our successes, challenges, and even our missteps with other Tribal healthcare systems. When we strengthen care anywhere in Indian Country, we strengthen care for all Indigenous people.

The visiting cohort from Cherokee Nation included leaders in behavioral health, infrastructure and development teams, architects, logistics professionals, and Cherokee Nation First Lady January Hoskin. Their perspective, questions, and insight made this week a powerful exchange of knowledge and purpose.

We are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate and to continue building systems of care that honor culture, community, and healing.

🌸 Indigenous Pink Day 2025 🌸
Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority staff came together yesterday to show of support and solidarity for Indigenous Pink Day in honor of those who have fought, those who are still fighting, and those we remember in the battle against breast cancer.
Across our campuses, staff wore pink, shared stories, and stood shoulder to shoulder in recognition of the strength, courage, and resilience that define our patients, families, and coworkers touched by breast cancer.
CIHA believes that healing extends beyond medicine to be rooted in compassion, community, and connection. By lifting up survivors, offering hope to those still fighting, and reminding one another that early detection and regular screenings save lives, we can ensure no one has to endure the fight alone.
Sgi to every staff member who participated (even those we didn't catch a picture of) and to the warriors — past and present — who inspire us all.
