Oklahoma Indian Clinic Celebrates 50 Years
Saturday the Oklahoma Indian Clinic celebrated its 50-year anniversary.
Since opening its doors 50 years ago, the clinic has seen tremendous growth.
“To watch the growth and be a part of it is so overwhelming that I don’t even know how to articulate it. ” Said Robyn Sunday Allen, CEO of OKC Indian Clinic.
Since 1995 the clinic has gained over 15, thousand patients.
“We had about 5000 patients in 1995, and we were an old dilapidated building downtown. Today we have 400 employees, we’re in 150,000 square feet of space with 22,000 patients,” said Sunday-Allen.
In 1974 the clinic opened with a few dozen patients and employees.
A long-time employee Robin Parker says it’s grown beyond the founder’s wildest dreams.
As they celebrate 50 years, the CEO continues to look ahead.
“It absolutely is a celebration of where we were in our humble beginnings and then what we aspire to be,” said Sunday-Allen.
