A Message From The Health Director
This website and its information is an excellent resource to those of you looking to obtain valuable life changing education and healthcare services!
The Tribe has recognized from the beginning that our healthcare system is a significant part of increasing the quality of life for the people it serves. In addition to happiness and health, the healthcare system we provide has been proven to prevent chronic diseases among our Native and non-Native patients. Along with a solid vision, Tribal Government support and leadership we have been able to make huge strides in providing a holistic healthcare team to Tribal members, employees and their families. We have many past accomplishments and outcomes that have been recognized nationally, that are used to steer us into the future to continue to expand our services and meet future goals. We are pleased to offer both Functional (use of herbs and compounding elements along with lifestyle interventions like nutrition and exercise) and conventional medicine (primarily use of lifestyle interventions along with medications) to provide treatments within our Wellness Centers.
Most all of the Cow Creek Health & Wellness Center’s programs are available to both tribal members and employees. We take great pride in offering programs that are based upon the best medical practices available and clinical standards that have been proven to reduce chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, obesity and cancer and heart disease while at the same time increasing the opportunity for you to decide the best approach to meeting your own healthcare needs (e.g. developing a personal nutrition and/or exercise plans that will best meet you and your family’s needs).
Nothing is more important than ones mental and physical health! The Tribe has the resources within the CCH&WC to assist you in all aspects of your healthcare needs. Please know we are here to serve you and to assist you in reaching that high quality of health!
Sincerely,
Dr. Sharon Stanphill
Health Director Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians
