The Chickasaw Nation considers its elders “living treasures” and works hard to provide for them the best service and care possible. By offering programs and services which are focused on all aspects of their lives, the tribe remains devoted to the health and well-being of its elders.

This program provides automated blood pressure measurement machines and specific over-the-counter medications to Chickasaw Nation Senior Centers. The program also provides educational opportunities related to diet, nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices. More information can be obtained at any Chickasaw Nation Senior Center.
