When I say that I’m proud of where I’m from, know that I mean the Cherokee Nation, not the state of Oklahoma.

At #ACGME2025 presenting on how AI/AN medical student and resident representation has been worsening over the last 18 years. What are the steps institutions, PDs, and faculty can take to help close this gap? Come chat! @acgme @anams1975 @aaipdocs

The termination of 850 Indian Health Service physicians, nurses, and dentists will have a grave impact on access to care for millions of Native Americans.

Upholding our treaty obligations is not optional.

What an exciting day for the Cherokee Nation, the Cherokee people and the community! 💜✨ Today, we broke ground on a state-of-the-art adult drug treatment center in Tahlequah! Osda!

When @GovStitt rejected federal dollars to feed children across Oklahoma this summer, we didn't hesitate to step in and help the kids who live on our reservation, both Native and non-Native. That's the Cherokee way. #CherokeeGoodness

The @AmerMedicalAssn now recognizes the significance of the land-grant university system and the Indian trust responsibility as part of their health equity and advocacy work. In 2024, @OSUMedicine at @CherokeeNation graduated their first class of doctors. @DrBray @ChuckHoskin_Jr
