View Award Description

Choctaw Nation - Public Health Strategic Planning Talking Circles (PHSPTC) - The Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma (CNO), as a sovereign nation, is uniquely situated to use public health as a tool to promote the health and well-being of people in the communities of its 10½ county-wide Tribal Service Area (TSA). The CNO is categorized as an extremely rural, “integrated” (i.e., not reservation based) tribe. Its TSA spans 10,613 square miles in the southeastern quadrant of Oklahoma, and is larger than the entire state of Maryland at 9,707 miles. In 2014, the CNO received designation as the first tribal Promise Zone. As is implied with the designation, this rural region struggles with extreme poverty, unemployment, and low educational attainment. In fact, Southeastern Oklahoma has some of the poorest counties in the state, and indeed, the entire U.S. All 10½ counties of the CNO have been designated as USDA StrikeForce areas, which consist of, “the country’s most economically challenged areas”. Although layers of state and county health departments exist in Southeastern Oklahoma, these have yet to adequately address and improve tribal health matters. Members of Choctaw Nation’s Tribal Council have previously asked academic researchers partnering with the tribe how we can better understand the root cause of health and social issues they personally observe affecting multiple generations of tribal families, even when the tribe has so many support programs serving these same families. Tribal Nations are often the best resource available to address the public health needs of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) populations in an efficient, effective, and culturally-appropriate manner. Some tribal staff members understand the need for Choctaw Nation to have a public health system able to address its specific public health issues, but they do not currently possess the knowledge to move the tribe in that direction. Although investigations with other Oklahoma tribes have taken place, consultation and guidance from companies and federal entities with specialized experience in establishing a tribal public health department is crucial for the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma to develop this capacity. Choctaw Nation plans to use the “Tribal Public Health Capacity Building and Quality Improvement Umbrella Cooperative Agreement” grant opportunity from CDC to focus on workforce development through a series of Public Health Strategic Planning Talking Circles (PHSPTC), using the help of a competitively bid consultation professional with experience in helping tribes reach public health accreditation. The CNHSA is well positioned to implement the PHSPTC program, due to its far-reaching network of health and health-related workers throughout the CNO TSA. In summary, the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma has a documented history over the nearly two decades, of collecting data and conducting evaluation for federal programs; and has always ranked high in compliance with follow-up requirements and data submission for SAMHSA, IHS, MSPI, DHHS, HRSA and other federal agencies. The long-term impact of a high-capacity tribal public health program in Southeastern Oklahoma is expected to be transformative, not only the Choctaw Nation, but the entire state of Oklahoma. Servant Leadership is an important concept to the CNO and the PHSPTC project demonstrates continuing efforts of the tribe to serve where needed, and to put into practice the viewpoint that “a rising tide lifts all boats”. Caring and teaching/training are woven throughout our mission, as we build a system-wide embrace of our people, our families, and our communities through improved public health services.
