Cherokees to take over Hastings Press staff reportsPatient eligibility would not change if the Cherokee Nation begins operating some or all of the services.
“Anyone who goes to Hastings now will still be eligible to go to Hastings once the services are operated by the Cherokee Nation,” Gower said. “Just like at Cherokee Nation-operated clinics, we will see patients who are members of any federally recognized tribe.” Gower said the Cherokee Nation wants every employee at Hastings to stay on the job. “Cherokee Nation wants the patients to have the comfort of knowing that they will be able to see their same trusted physicians, nurses and health care providers,” Gower said. “Every position will become either a federal employee paid for by the Cherokee Nation or a tribal employee.” Tribes are allowed by federal law to assume operations of hospitals within their jurisdictional area. The Cherokee Nation will assume operations of Hastings around the beginning of the new fiscal year, which is Oct. 1. For information about the tribe’s health care system, visit the Cherokee Nation web site at www.cherokee.org.
