Muscogee Nation Approves $185 Million for State-of-the-Art Health Facilities in Holdenville and Sapulpa
OKMULGEE, OK — In a landmark move to continue the progressive expansion of healthcare services for Muscogee citizens, the Muscogee Nation National Council has approved a $185 million financing package to support the construction of two transformational health facilities — a new comprehensive clinic in Holdenville and an expanded replacement clinic in Sapulpa.
“This investment underscores the Nation’s long-term commitment to accessible, high-quality, and culturally competent healthcare. Our people deserve the very best healthcare we can provide — in settings that reflect our values and meet their needs,” said Principal Chief David W. Hill.
“As a Nation we have committed to an aggressive and expansive strategy to meet the healthcare needs of our citizens and communities. The National Council is humbled to approve this historic financing package to ensure that we are honoring our promises to the people,” said National Council Speaker Randall Hicks.
The Holdenville campus will span more than 67,000 square feet across 40 acres, designed not only as a healthcare facility but as a collective hub for prevention, wellness, and community health. The clinic will offer a full range of services—including primary care, dental, and optometry—while integrating outdoor wellness spaces that encourage long-term healthy living.
“This is more than a building. It’s a promise to our citizens that we will continue to invest in their health — not just for today, but for generations to come,” said Secretary of Health Shawn Terry. “This campus in Holdenville is about community, prevention, and providing care that meets our people where they are.”
In Sapulpa, the current clinic will be replaced with a two-story, 148,000-square-foot facility, more than ten times the size of the existing center. This modern clinic will bring a comprehensive suite of services under one roof, including primary care, pediatrics, women’s health, pharmacy, dental, optometry, and a range of specialty clinics. The Sapulpa facility is also designed to foster collaboration among healthcare professionals, strengthening care coordination, improving patient outcomes, and enhancing the overall patient experience.
The financing package — led by BOK Financial — represents one of the largest health-related investments in the Nation’s history. BOK Financial will lead the syndication process, incorporating a network of local lending institutions to ensure the economic benefits of the project extend throughout the region.
“We are proud to partner with BOK Financial and other local lenders who understand the importance of tribal infrastructure and support our mission to uplift the health and wellness of our people,” said Secretary Terry.
“These are incredibly impactful projects, and we’re honored to be a trusted partner of the Muscogee Nation,” said Sarah Alexander of BOK Financial.
Groundbreaking ceremonies for both facilities are scheduled to take place in the coming months. Together, these projects mark a new chapter in the Nation’s healthcare journey — one that blends cutting-edge medical services with cultural, community-centered design to serve future generations of Muscogee citizens.
