2020-03-12Ponca Tribal Chairman Addresses the Challenges of Offering Services to a Geographically Unique Community
“As our people become more and more inundated with news and updates on the Covid19 virus, I’m sure many of you are concerned of the unknown and what’s next. As far as it relates to our tribal nation, Tribal Council and staff have been addressing this situation for some time… Added to our concerns in this time of uncertainty is the fact that our tribal service delivery areas are spread out over 15 counties in 3 states. We have several unique areas spread across these areas. All need the unique attention they deserve. Our staff is working with all 3 state health organizations and all counties that our service delivery areas are in…While we are doing everything we can to help at this time, your understanding is asked for in knowing that we just may not be able to prevent occurrences from happening. Again, we will remain committed to protecting our people the absolute best that we can.”
