OKLAHOMA CITY, OK – Oklahoma City Indian Clinic (OKCIC) celebrated its 50th anniversary with a vibrant cultural celebration at the First Americans Museum. The event featured live music, Native dancers, delicious foods, an art market, and various activities. Native princesses and dancers came from across the metro to provide entertainment for guests. The event also featured bounce houses, water activities, stickball, and balloon twisters for kids.
OKCIC community partners included Rock the Native Vote, Southern Plains Tribal Health Board, Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, the Alzheimer’s Association, Superior Truck Driving Academy, and others. Feed The Children and the Chickasaw Nation provided 800 food and essential hygiene boxes to families in need.
“We are deeply grateful to our community partners for making this event possible,” said Robyn Sunday-Allen, CEO of OKCIC. “The clinic has come so far in its journey. Here’s to 50 more years of growth and service.”
Founded in 1974 in downtown Oklahoma City, OKCIC was the first urban Indian clinic in the city, initially serving a small number of patients. Today, the clinic serves over 24,000 patients from over 200 federally recognized tribes every year. American Indians can receive a range of services, including medical, dental, pediatrics, prenatal, pharmacy, optometry, physical fitness, nutrition, behavioral health, and adult, family and youth programs.
