Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. To Sign Legislation To Build New $400M Hospital In Tahlequah

Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. will officially sign legislation to build a new $400 million state-of-the-art hospital in Tahlequah.

The new hospital would replace W W Hastings Indian Hospital, which was built in the 1980s.

Principal Chief Hoskin originally called for the plan during his State of the Nation Address back in September.

The nation also plans to use an additional $35 million to replace the tribe's 25-year-old outpatient health center in Salina.
