Lawton Indian Health Service

About

We provide healthcare to Native Americans in Southwest Oklahoma. We are comprised of the Anadarko Clinic, the Carnegie Clinic, and Lawton Hospital.

Description

The Lawton Service Unit is comprised of the Anadarko Clinic, the Carnegie Clinic and the Lawton Indian Hospital. We provide healthcare services to over 25,000 members of the Caddo, Comanche, Delaware, Fort Sill Apache, Kiowa, Apache, and Wichita tribes are concentrated in the ten counties in the southwestern corner of Oklahoma where the weather is generally mild. Although mountains and small lakes adorn the rugged landscape, this is great plains country. The Lawton Indian Hospital is a full service hospital situated in Oklahoma's third largest metropolitan area. Lawton Fort Sill serves as a prominent shopping, medical, recreational, educational and religious center for the region. It is the retail and distribution center for the area's cattle, dairy and agricultural industries. The city of Lawton-Ft. Sill, only 85 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, has a population of roughly 100,000. Surrounded by mountains and small lakes, the city enjoys a stable economy, largely due to the 26,000 service personnel on active duty at Fort Sill and an equal number of former Army members who chose to make Lawton their home after retiring from the service. Anadarko is a community of approximately 6,500 about 50 miles southwest of Oklahoma City and 40 miles north of Lawton, OK. With a staff of 4 full time physicians, the Anadarko health center handles nearly 38,500 outpatients visits each year.

Anadarko has experienced a significant growth pattern over the past 5 years. It is home to a large Native American population and hosts many Native American cultural events such as Pow-wow's. Anadarko offers many restaurants, grocery stores, clothing stores, gasoline stations, florists, a public library, a movie theater, and has excellent educational facilities for children. Anadarko also has access to numerous recreational sites. It is family oriented and friendly, offering many social opportunities for families.

Carnegie Indian Health Station provides outpatient medical care to all ages with one full time general practitioner. Two specialty clinics, Podiatry and Pediatrics, are offered one day a week. The Public Health Nursing program at the Carnegie Indian Health Station provides immunizations and certain community out-reach programs.

Carnegie is host to many community events, including the Carnegie Canna Festival, the Carnegie Tri-County Free Fair, the Carnegie Round-Up Club Rodeo, the World Championship Domino Tournament, as well as various other community events throughout the year.

The Day Surgery crew is amazing. They took the absolute best care of our little boy for some dental work under general anesthesia. I felt safe trusting them with my baby! I never went more than 20 minutes without an update and they showered him with so many gifts! I spoke to 2 anesthesiologist, pediatrician and the dentist all prior to the surgery. They took their time and were not in a rush and made sure I understood everything! I was NEVER out of the loop and knew everything that was happening to him in real time. This eases a nervous mommas mind! Thank you Nancy, Dr. Groton, Ashley, Chris, both anesthesiologists male and female and anyone else I forgot! You were all AMAZING!!
Sitting in the waiting area of the ER for hours is NOT ok, by any means. I can I'm today around 5 pm and didn't leave until almost 9:30 pm due to back pain and a fall that I took the day before. My back pain is worse than it was BEFORE I came to this hospital, because the doctors had me up and down on hard flat surfaces, not caring that I had already said that it was my back that took the most damage and it needed to be looked at, only to be told that I should just take some Tylenol and put ice on it when I got home. What is wrong with doctors, now days? Do y'all not care, anymore?
my wife has had so much trouble with their mental health facility. they’ve canceled her appointment on her without telling her, they’re not clear about this “policy” they have where you can’t see multiple councilors, they recommend tailaferro, but know nothing about it. they recommended my wife tailaferro & since she couldn’t get in for a month, she got in touch with them, only for them to tell her she can’t have both. both tailaferro & indian take 1-2 months just to be seen. this is MENTAL HEALTH. imagine trying to stiff out mental problems for months on end, only to be met with this. every single therapist but the supervisor comes off as inexperienced, rude, and judgmental. even personally my own experience going there, i wasn’t able to receive ANY good advice, ANY help, and it was all sub par. brenda, leroy & deers are all HORRIBLE therapists. they shouldn’t be taking on a hero’s job if they don’t even care about the people. i feel for people who have to deal with these state workers because that’s all they can afford. i’m BEGGING for anyone to make change to this system for the rest of the people
I have come to realize that no help is just as good as what they offer they may help but days later when in to bad of shape to help I left one star just so I could leave a review otherwise they don't don't even deserve a star ....
They are kind.i love that they Are constantly making changes to better serve the patients needs. Having different Dr. Specialty as well as a pharmacy offer in one place, is the best..
It was 40 years ago I went to this hospital for the first time. My daughter was born there, they had the only Dr. that figured out my son had asthma in less than 10 minutes of seeing him. Had taken him to every Dr. Within 50 miles of where I live. Did 1000 times better having a c-section in this hospital than I did with my first. My Dr's. and Nurses were exceptionally kind and caring. They even did a home check. Went to the Dentist there and he was exceptional. And I have lived in a dentist chair since I was little. Yes I have had to call a couple of times but I have also noticed they are busier than one arm paper hangers when I am there. I have always been treated well and I expect I will be treated well again. THANK YOU!!
Today was our very first experience and I must say it was a very pleasant one. Everyone was kind, efficient and prompt. Dr. Paul and his nurse Amber were outstanding. They were both so nice, friendly and thorough. Truly appreciate everything. My apprehensions and concerns have been alleviated.
I was refused medical service.!!!!It's ridiculous that you still have to wear masks when covid hasn't been around for 2 years. follow just like sheep that's why our land got took..
Came with my daughter to LIH to refill her medication. They are not taking new patient at the OKC location. 2 of the 3 people we have encountered have been rude to the point of making my daughter cry. Carrie in ER takes the award for rudest employee. If you don’t like your job let someone else do it. Just so you know, we don’t want to be here either.
Showed up at 6:32, there were already 3 cars waiting so we parked in slot number 4 as instructed. Then they came out they took the first 3 cars, skipped our car and took car in number 5 and number 8 slot. Then the people that worked here just lied to our face about the other cars being here first. Just a bold face liar. This happened 08/09/2022.
