Welcome from the CEO
Welcome to Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribal Health. It is an honor to serve the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe and the community that places its trust in the Tribal Health Center. Our mission is rooted in a simple but powerful vision: Honoring Beliefs. Improving Patient Lives.
Over the past several years, the Tribal Health Center has grown into a comprehensive healthcare organization. We have expanded access to care, strengthened our workforce, invested in technology, and just broke ground to construct a New Wellness Center. These accomplishments reflect the dedication of Tribal leadership, our employees, providers, patients, families, and community partners working together toward a common goal.
We have expanded programs that support physical, mental, spiritual, and community wellness through successful grant funding. This includes diabetes education and prevention services through the Special Diabetes Program for Indians (SDPI), behavioral health and substance use programs supported by SAMHSA, and innovative healthcare initiatives funded through Rural Health Transformation grants.
Our role is one of service. We are honored to walk alongside the community, providing compassionate care, supporting healthier lives, and serving as responsible stewards of the resources entrusted to us.
Thank you for visiting our website. We invite you to learn more about the Tribal Health Center's services, our team, and our commitment to the community we serve.
Respectfully,
Cindy
