Building a world-class health system through data-driven strategy

By Chuck Hoskin Jr. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief 

At the Cherokee Nation, we have long been committed to building a health system that is among the best in the world.

By commissioning comprehensive health care studies, publishing those findings and using the results to guide policy, the Nation elevates health outcomes for our people while setting a health care model for Indian Country and beyond.
