Absolutely. OKC IHS does tons of good for the Native community and is the only one in the area. The next closest from the OKC area would be El Reno (~45 min away), but it’s small. Anadarko or Watonga would be next and they’re about an hour away and they’re small, too. Hearing that it was being shuttered to recoup $120K was infuriating, but I shouldn’t have been surprised they were willing to sacrifice lives for what is less than the average cost of a single home in the metro.
