*Analenisgi’s OTP program will remain open until 12pm to give patients extra time to safely travel to CIHA*

Due to weather the Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority, Analenisgi, and all outlying clinics will be operating on a two-hour delay today, January 15, 2026.

If you are a patient and have an appointment scheduled before 10:00am the staff will work to re-book your appointment. The staff will notify you of your new appointment to ensure that it is a time that works for you. If you are not contacted by the staff and have concern about your re-booking please contact your primary care team or the appropriate department.

If you are an essential employee providing services to Tsali Care, Inpatient or the ER please plan to arrive at your normal time, if possible. If it is not possible for you to travel safely please notify your supervisor to make other arrangements.

The Executive team will continue to monitor weather conditions in collaboration with local agencies, and further updates will be provided if needed. The safety of our patients, staff, and community is our top priority, and we encourage everyone to take appropriate precautions when traveling.

The holidays can be difficult for families who may be celebrating for the first time without loved ones who have journeyed on.

Navigating grief is different for everyone. To help those experiencing loss during the holidays, Justice Littlejohn, Cultural Advisor, Galvgwodiyu Program at Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority shares this beautiful poem.

Galvgwodiyu Cultural Advisor Justice Littlejohn worked with the Dadiwonisi Speakers to set up a visit with residents at Tsali Care this morning. The speakers spent time with residents and gave each of them a special gift.

Seasonal Affective Disorder can be especially challenging in the winter months, when shorter days and colder weather can affect mood, motivation, and overall well-being. For many Native people, the change in seasons can also bring reminders of loss, stress, and generational responsibilities that weigh heavily on the spirit.

If you’ve noticed yourself feeling more withdrawn, tired, anxious, or unlike your usual self this time of year, you are not alone. These experiences are common, and they are treatable. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Our communities have always relied on connection, culture, and caring for one another to navigate hard seasons.

Analenisgi is here to walk with you, offer support, and help you reclaim balance during these winter months. If you or a loved one is struggling with symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, please reach out. Healing starts with a single conversation.

Call Analenisgi at 828.497.9163 ext. 7550.
