As the shutdown of the federal government continues, concerns have been voiced about services from the Muscogee Nation Department of Health.
MCN Secretary of Health Shawn Terry reassured citizens operations would continue as normal during the shutdown in a statement issued Thursday.
“As the federal government has reached a partial shutdown, many employees, patients and citizens of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Department of Health have questions and concerns regarding the operations of our clinics and hospitals,” Terry stated.
“I would like to reassure everyone that the operations of our hospitals and clinics will remain open without disruption. With the hard work of our employees and the cooperation of our patients, the Department of Health is financially prepared to absorb this shutdown. However, the federal government will not be issuing payments to fund our operations until a budget agreement has been reached.”
