Details
Finding solutions to essential services such as health, wellness, and childcare requires a multi-faceted approach. Funding agencies, local leaders, and community organizations must work together. The Chickasaw Nation Wellness Center, which opened in 2019, is a great example of multiple units of government and communities working together for the betterment of all. It was designed to meet the needs of Chickasaw families and other community members by providing programs focused on improved health. Proactive rural leaders can identify and address barriers head-on, while informed federal agencies can streamline the process for rural areas to access funding and achieve their potential.
By embracing technology and fostering collaboration, Ada is creating new employment opportunities and laying the groundwork for a future where improved access to healthcare and childcare becomes a reality for all residents. Their story serves as a hope for other rural communities facing similar challenges.
