Bearskin Healthcare & Wellness Center (1 Turtle Drive in Wyandotte, Okla.) celebrated its 25th Anniversary Thursday evening, Sept. 14, with food, inflatables, a raffle, and goodies.
“We are honored to celebrate 25 years of continual quality health service to not only our tribal citizens but also to the northeast Oklahoma community,” Chief Billy Friend said. “Over these 25 years, we have been able to increase our capacity and expand our services to our patients.”
Chief Friend cut the anniversary cake.
The Bearskin Healthcare & Wellness Center was originally located at the Tribal Administration Headquarters before relocating to the current facility. Since then, the Wellness Center has added services, and undergone renovations and expansions to the clinic and fitness center to better serve tribal citizens and non-tribal citizens alike. The Center was the result of a collaboration between the Wyandotte Nation and Eastern Shawnee tribes.
