Purcell Clinic
PURCELL, Okla. -- Chickasaw Nation officials opened the doors of the Purcell Health Clinic Oct. 6 during a grand opening celebration. The clinic is located on the Chickasaw Nation campus at 1438 Hardcastle Blvd. in Purcell.
The 10,086-square-foot appointment-based clinic offers outpatient general and family practice medicine, laboratory testing, pharmacy and ultrasound exams. In the future, the clinic also hopes to offer optometry services.
"Quality health care services are provided every day to those we serve," Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby said. "With the new Purcell clinic, patients will receive quality care while reducing travel time."
The Purcell Health Clinic joins other Chickasaw Nation Health Facilities in Ada, Ardmore, Durant and Tishomingo. The Purcell clinic will provide more convenient services to Native Americans living in McClain, Cleveland and Garvin counties.
"It takes more than bricks and mortar to have an excellent health facility. It also depends on the quality of staff," said Bill Lance, tribal health system administrator. "We are very proud to offer an outstanding clinic and wonderful staff members to the Purcell area."
The clinic has 16 employees, including a physician, a registered nurse and a pharmacy clerk.
"Today we are one step closer to our dream of building a health clinic every 35-miles within the Chickasaw Nation boundaries," Gov. Anoatubby said.
Hours of operation for the clinic are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
