Dear Constituents:

Marilyn Booth from constituent services has been compiling a list of names for the health benefit debit card. She may be reached at #918-287-5662 or mbooth@osagetribe.org
Thank you for your cooperation
Welcome to Osage Nation Health Programs
Type 2 Diabetes is attacking our Native American Community in epidemic numbers. We as Native Americans, are "at risk" just because of who we are. Diabetes is listed as one of the top three "killers" of Native American People, with the other two being Heart Disease and Cancer. Diabetes and Heart Disease are related and, in most cases, can be prevented or delayed with good nutrition and exercise. It has also been reported that Native American People who already suffer from Type 2 Diabetes can prevent or delay deadly complications with good nutrition and exercise, as well.
Through our Diabetic and Community Health Program, Native Americans, who reside within the reservation, can receive free glucose monitoring supplies, diabetic, fitness and nutritional education, free membership to our Fitness Center, free blood pressure monitors, diabetic socks, & assistance with eyeglasses, dentures, & shoes.
Let's work together to improve our quality of life and prevent our children from suffering from these debilitating diseases.
