INDIAN HEALTH CARE RESOURCE CENTER OF TULSA IHCRC Annual Report 1

The mission of Indian Health Care Resource Center of Tulsa, Inc. (IHCRC) is to provide quality, comprehensive health care to Tulsa area Indian people in a culturally sensitive manner that promotes good health, well being, and harmony.

The vision of IHCRC is to eliminate health disparities, expand innovative family-focused practices, and promote an embracing approach to care that strengthens physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness within the Indian community.

The long-term health promotional goal is to improve general health status and reduce the incidence and severity of chronic disease by engaging the Indian community in ongoing health promotion, prevention, and disease management activities.

The Medicine Wheel teaches us the four distinctive and powerful elements of fire, water, earth, and air are a part of the physical world. Each of the elements is to be respected equally for its gift of life.

The wheel also teaches us we have four aspects to our nature – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. To become a well balanced healthy individual, each of these aspects must be equally expressed through the development and use of our will.

The wheel is an ancient symbol used by most native people of the Americas. The wheel is used to express holistic, cyclical, and harmonious concepts – the four winds, the four cardinal directions, and other relationships that express balance and interrelationship.

2016 Letter from the President and the CEO It is often said that “time flies.” That has certainly been true for Indian Health Care Resource Center. So much has happened in the past 40 years. From a community survey to building a state-of-the-art facility, IHCRC has remained true to the provision of quality, comprehensive care for Tulsa’s Indian community.

From the first patient who walked through the door to the 18,000 active patients who call IHCRC their medical home, IHCRC has greeted each one with the patient in mind.

In the past 40 years almost 250,000 people have walked through the doors of IHCRC. Many of them continue their care with us today.

Some have grandchildren, great grandchildren, and even great, great grandchildren who are now receiving care. What an honor it is and has been to serve every single one of these individuals and families.

Our 40th year has brought many wonderful moments. In January we hosted an open enrollment event for the ACA and Medicaid in conjunction with Urban Indian Outreach and Enrollment. In March more than 450 people attended our annual Dance of the Two Moons raising the largest net profit to-date for our youth programs.

The year brought several new grants including a Domestic Violence Prevention Initiative and grants from

the Flint Family Foundation and Nike N7 Fund for our youth fitness programs. The annual powwow was attended by almost 900 individuals and approximately 300 youth enjoyed spring and summer camps. The new Family Fun and Fitness Days taught exciting new ways for almost 400 individuals to exercise together as families. A new partnership with KOTV - News On 6 culminated with a wonderful commercial produced

by KOTV - News On 6, filmed completely in the clinic.

More than 11,000 unduplicated individuals walked through our doors this year. The full story of their care is shared in the pages that follow. As we look forward to the next 40 years, our eyes remain on those individuals and our ears stay focused on their voices.

We began our journey listening and responding to the needs of Tulsa’s urban Indian community and that is how our journey shall continue.

LOOKING BACK

2016 Carmelita Wamego Skeeter 40 Years of Service

Carmelita Skeeter began her career of helping people when a young priest named Dan Allen came to her church with a story of struggling families in Tulsa. She joined Allen’s social action group and began working with Neighbor For Neighbor.

In 1976, she helped with a study of the needs of Indian people in Tulsa. The grant evolved into what is today known as Indian Health Care Resource Center of Tulsa. After serving as clinic administrator, Carmelita became Chief Executive Officer in 1989, a position she still holds. She is an activist and strong supporter of aiding underserved populations. Carmelita’s legacy will be remembered as one who always stood up for those who couldn’t speak for themselves.

Although Carmelita’s involvement and accomplishments are too numerous to list, she has made a major difference through her involvement including her service on the following committees or boards: (1) the Tribal Technical Advisory Group for Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services; (2) the Oklahoma Primary Care Board; (3) the Susan G. Komen American Indian/ Alaska Native national advisory council; (4) the National Council of Urban Indian Health; and (5) the Iron Gate Advisory Board for Tulsa’s homeless population. She has been a speaker for numerous national committees including the U.S. House of Representatives.

During the past 40 years she has been the recipient of many awards, including (1) “Outstanding Community Leadership of the Year,” presented by the Oklahoma Native American Business Development Center, 1998; (2) an award for significant contributions in improving the health of American Indian and Alaska Natives presented by the National Indian Health Board, 1999; (3) the national Council of Urban Indian Health “Outstanding Program of the Year” award, 2002; (4) Maxine Cissel Horner Spirit of Community Excellence Award, 2003: (5) a Women in Communication Annual Newsmaker, 2011; (6) a Women of the Year Pinnacle Award winner; (7) a YWCA 100 Women of Moxie, 2014; and (8) a Dan Allen Social Justice Award Winner, 2016.
