Mission
The Caddo Nation Community Health Program Mission is to assist eligible Native American Individuals and families within our service area to gain access to comprehensive health care services. Our program is funded by IHS on a yearly basis to assist Caddo tribal members with health needs. We are often a vital link to health care services for our communities in rural areas.
Our work includes scheduling appointments for our clients, pick up and delivery of medications, home visits, case screening and management, monitoring of patients, and health education. All of our CHR staff members are trained in CPR, First Aid and as EMS First Responders.
