Just like much of the nation, the Cherokee Nation has a focus on healthcare. There is a new hospital under construction in Tahlequah and another to start soon in Salina.
Principal Chief Chuck Hoskins Jr. says not only are state-of-the-art facilities needed for their citizens but it's also important in attracting healthcare workers. In an interview with KGGF, Hoskins also addressed the importance of education and job training as well as the preservation of the Cherokee culture.
Chief Hoskins has been keeping busy not only with his regular duties as Chief but also campaigning for the election that will take place next Saturday, June 3rd. The full interview with Principal Chief Hoskins will air next week on KGGF.
