OKEMAH, OK โ€“ The Muscogee Nation Department of Health proudly announces the opening of a new outpatient physical therapy department at Creek Nation Community Hospital in Okemah. For the first time ever, physical therapy services will be available directly at this facility, addressing a critical need in the southern region of the Muscogee Reservation.

โ€œWe identified a significant demand for physical therapy services in this area,” said Tim Hicks, Acting Secretary of Health. “Being able to offer PT here is going to be exceptional for patients.โ€

Previously, patients in the Okemah and Okfuskee County region had to travel to Okmulgee for physical therapy. Now, they can receive high-quality care closer to home.

โ€œWe know patients are more likely to follow treatment plans when care is convenient,โ€ said Catherine Vass, Okemah Hospital Administrator. โ€œWe are excited for Okfuskee County and for the Okemah community to benefit from these expanded services.โ€

This new department is part of MCN Healthโ€™s ongoing efforts to enhance access to care across the Muscogee Reservation, ensuring that all citizens have the resources they need to maintain their health and well-being.

The outpatient physical therapy department will be open Monday โ€“ Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Patients will need an order or referral from their primary care physician to schedule an appointment. For more information about MCN Health and its services, visit Creekhealth.org.
