TAHLEQUAH – The Cherokee Nation finalized plans Wednesday to build a new hospital in Tahlequah and a new outpatient health center in the town of Salina in Mayes County.
The new hospital, to be constructed at a cost of around $400 million, will take the place of a decades-old much smaller hospital in Tahlequah. The current facility, known as the W.W. Hastings Hospital, will be converted for new use as the tribe expands behavioral health services and programs, according to a media release.
