IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Commemorating WIHCC's 20th AnniversaryWinslow Indian Health Care Center is celebrating its 20th anniversary as a self-governed organization through a P.L 93-638 Compact. For 20 years, WIHCC has been amended as its own entity, meaning it is no longer an Indian Health Service (IHS) organization. WIHCC would like to thank all our past and current leadership, staff, colleagues, and k’é who have made the WIHCC organization as great as it is today. Pictured above is a fraction of our current staff at Winslow Indian Health Care Center; not all WIHCC & Dilkon Medical Center (DMC) staff could attend the photo shoot. Nonetheless, WIHCC is grateful to have each and everyone of our staff contribute to our patient care at WIHCC & DMC.
Following is a statement made by our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Sally Pete: On April 19, 2002, the Navajo Nation Council approved a legislation #CJY-35-02 for Winslow, Tuba City, and Utah Navajo as pilot projects under P.L 93-638 Title-1 Contract. On this day, WIHCC was informed to prepare for negotiation to contract with IHS immediately. The employees were informed and the result was shocking as they expressed resistance and some shed tears not wanting to leave IHS. Nonetheless, to honor the law of the Navajo Nation, WIHCC prepared for negotiations which took place over the summer of 2002, and eventually, it was approved by IHS and the WIHCC Board of Directors on August 16, 2002, as shown in the picture (below) of late John Hubbard, Jr., NAIHS Director, Jack Tarro, Contracting Officer-NAIHS and Thomas L. Cody, WIHCC BOD President. Continue Reading |
