Heroes on the Frontline of Health Care

Clinton Service Unit proudly celebrates our Environmental Services (EVS) staff at Clinton, El Reno, and Watonga Indian Health
Centers for their dedication to the cleanliness and safety of our patients and staff. During a global pandemic, we have seen
these unsung heroes on the front lines keeping our facilities clean and safe for those who work and visit our service unit.
The EVS team ensures safe, comfortable and clean facilities all year long. These dedicated employees provide outstanding
services. Their knowledge and skill not only keep our faculties running smoothly, but they help support positive patient out-
comes.
When EVS run smoothly, our medical concerns can be the focus of medical professionals. That’s why EVS specialists are vital
to the operation of any facility. They are the frontline defense against serious infections throughout the facilities.

Thank you CSU Environmental Services for your
dedication and service!

Annual Head Start Health Fair

To enroll in the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes’ Head Start, students are required to obtain a complete physical, hearing and vision screen-
ing, dental exam, nutrition assessment, and ensure immunizations are up-to-date. To assist parents and
ease the burden in obtaining multiple exams, providers and staff of Clinton Service Unit (CSU) set-up a
series of community clinics for students of Canton, Clinton, and Concho Head Starts.

“Obtaining the needed health screenings could take several days to complete through multiple appoint-
ments,” said Bonnie Kraft, director of public health nursing. “These appointments were all made availa-
ble for the families to complete in a matter of several hours. Completing multiple appointments in a one-
stop shop minimized the amount of time parents may have to take off from work or be away from
providing care to other family members.”

To ensure social distancing measures were maintained and a limited amount of people were in the facil-
ity, families were provided a number and encouraged to wait in their car until it was their turn to receive
care. Throughout the three Head Start facilities of the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes, CSU coordinated
the appointments and provided care to 85 kids.

nursing, and Christine Coughlin, public

Employee Massage Day

Clinton Service Unit (CSU) teamed with the Oklahoma College of Massage Therapy to provide 15-minute massages for each staff member
(if they desired) at Clinton, El Reno, and Watonga Indian Health Centers. The opportunity allowed staff the ability to relax during the execu-
tive Wednesday in the month of September.

“I want to thank you for your unwavering dedication and support during this second wave of COVID-19,” said Captain Joe Bryant, chief exec-
utive officer. “We know it is taking an overwhelming toll on all of us, physically, mentally, and socially. The balancing act of chronic care and
acute needs of our patients is difficult and I know we are all doing our best to weather the storm as best as possible.”

Thank you to CSU’s Massage Therapy Team, Susan Rose, and Dorothea Porras, for assisting in scheduling and making arrangements for
the day!

The Leader’s Greatest Return

Over the course of the summer, leadership of Clinton Service Unit, to include the executive leadership team, supervisors, department heads
and key personnel, dove into leadership expert and bestselling author John C. Maxwell’s book, The Leader’s Greatest Return: Attracting,
Developing, and Multiplying Leaders. This team participated in a book circle, covering Maxwell’s thoughts on lessons he’s learned about the
leadership development process over the last quarter century.

“It is vital for us as an organization to grow and develop existing and future leaders”, said Captain Joe Bryant, chief executive officer. “This
training allowed our staff to teach-back the principles, work collaboratively with other department leaders, and directly apply the concepts to
their daily activities. The service unit is committed to consistent and ongoing trainings to develop our staff and continue growing as an organ-
ization.”

In The Leader’s Greatest Return, Maxwell took the team in a step-by-step process of identifying, attracting, empowering, and positioning
leaders to create a culture capable of reproducing and compounding the value of its leaders. The greatest leaders aren’t necessarily the
ones who do the greatest things. They are the ones who empower others to do great things.

CSU is proactively taking principals learned through this book to assist individuals in
taking the next step in leadership today, in an effort to create a legacy for tomorrow. The
executive leadership team implemented monthly department huddles to conduct brief-
ings, highlight significant accomplishments, review core measures, discuss significant
actions towards workforce development and collaborative relationships, and collaborate
on concerns or actions.

“Leadership development, or the process of producing new leaders, is key to an organi-

zation’s long-term success, because when an organization stops growing leaders, it

stops growing.” ~John C. Maxwell The Executive Leadership Team meets monthly with department
leaders to collaborate on issues within the service unit.

UPDATE: El Reno Expansion

The construction of the new facility for El Reno Indian Health Center continues to be on schedule, with an anticipated completion date for
early 2022. Over the past month, crews have pulled the electrical wire and low voltage cable, began painting walls, installed metal panels,
began to tile-in the restrooms, and began grading for the parking lot. In the next few weeks, the crew will continue to paint the walls and
ceilings, begin installation of the ceiling grid, install irrigation sleeves, and install underground rough-in for the light poles. Below are pic-

COVID-19 and Mental Health

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major effect on our lives. Many of us are facing challenges that may be stressful, overwhelming, and
cause strong emotions in adults and children. Public health actions, such as social distancing, are necessary to reduce the spread of COVID
-19, but these actions may make us feel isolated and lonely, and may increase stress and anxiety.

Learning to cope with stress in a healthy way will make you, the people you care about, and those around you become more resilient.

Stress can cause the following:

 Feelings of fear, anger, sadness, worry, numbness, or frustration
 Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests
 Difficulty concentrating and making decisions
 Difficulty sleeping or nightmares
 Physical reactions, such as headaches, body pains, stomach problems, and skin rashes
 Worsening of chronic health problems
 Worsening of mental health conditions
 Increased use of tobacco. alcohol, and other substances

Healthy Ways to Cope with Stress

 Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories (including those on social media). It’s good to be in-

formed, but constantly hearing about the pandemic can be upsetting. Consider limiting news to just a couple times a day and
disconnecting from phone, television, and computer screens for a while.

 Take care of your body. Take deep breaths, stretch, or meditate. Try to eat healthy, well- balanced meals. Exercise regu-

larly and get plenty of sleep. Avoid excessive alcohol, tobacco, and substance use. Continue with routine preventative
measures ( such as vaccinations, cancer screenings, etc.) as recommended by your health care provider and get vaccinated
with a COVID-19 vaccine.

 Make time to Unwind. Try to do some activities you enjoy.

 Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns and how you are feeling.
 Connect with the community or faith-based organizations. Try connecting online, through social media, or by

phone or mail.

If you are struggling to cope, there are many ways to get help. Call your health care provider if stress gets in the way of your
daily activities for several days in a row. During times of extreme stress, people may have thoughts of suicide.

Suicide is preventable and help is available.

Clinton Service Unit Quarterly Award Recipients

Employee of the Quarter

Angela Cloud

Angela “Angie” Cloud, licensed practical nurse, leads by example. She never hesitates to help her co-
workers and patients. She is always willing to pitch-in for the good of the community, and can regularly
be found helping at community events. She is organized, efficient, and exceeds the need on a daily ba-
sis.

Angie has been an integral part of the Clinton Indian Health Center for many years. She quietly exceeds the needs for our patients, while
improving their physical, mental, social, and spiritual health to the highest level. Behind the scenes, you will find Angie multi-tasking and
always ready to jump-up to assist any co-worker or patient who needs it. While typically quite, she passionately advocates for all patients.
She does not see the clinic as separate teams, but as a whole team, lending a hand whenever or wherever it is needed. She fully seeks to
give her all to every encounter. She always does this without a complaint and without creating a scene. Angie embodies our mission and
vision. She is always flexible and ready for any situation.

Angie exceeds the need outside of work raising her five children and participating in numerous community events with the Tribe or in 5K fun
runs. She embodies what we all should strive for both “on and off the court”, putting her all (heart and soul) into every situation, patient, co-
worker, and family member. It is the type of impact you feel and not just hear or see.

Above and Beyond

Christy Prairie Chief

Christy Prairie Chief, environmental services (EVS), goes above and beyond on a daily basis. She sniffs out areas in

on leave. Many times she has worked split shift in order to keep things done. When she is not filling-in, she is doing so
many extra things for the facility, like cleaning wood work, walls, windows, carpets, buffing the floors, and so much
more!

tized, and in tip-top shape. Her attitude is excellent and the joy for her job is reflected in her work. She makes a huge difference in the EVS

Outstanding Customer Service

Dr. Stephen Meacham

sure patients receive a home hygiene kit, oral hygiene instruction, and an applicable fluoride varnish. This en-
sures patients, outside the Dental department, are being connected with, informed and educated, which ulti-
mately bolsters the Dental department and Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) measures.

IHS Strategic Plan

The Indian Health Service (IHS) Strategic Plan for FY 2019-2023 describes what the agency hopes to achieve over the next five years. The
IHS Strategic Plan is based on the participation and feedback received from Tribes, Tribal Organizations, Urban Indian Organizations, IHS
staff, and other stakeholders.

The mission of the IHS is to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest
level. The intent of the IHS Strategic Plan is to improve the health of American Indians and Alaska Natives through better management and
administration of the IHS. The Strategic Plan details how the IHS will achieve its mission through three strategic goals:

 Access: To ensure that comprehensive, culturally appropriate personal and public health services are available and

accessible to American Indian and Alaska Native people;

 Quality: To promote excellence and quality through innovation of the Indian health system into an optimally perform-

ing organization; and

 Operations: To strengthen IHS program management and operations

The Strategic Plan supports the critical work Clinton Service Unit (CSU) provides in a comprehensive health care service delivery system. As
the service unit moves forward in implementation of this plan, the following expectations are set for staff of CSU.

 Know and support the IHS Mission and goals of the Strategic Plan

 Provide high quality customer service to internal and external customers and maintain professional courtesy at all
times.

 Treat co-workers respectfully and courteously at all times. Honor and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.

 Know and understand your obligation for reporting harassment and/or abuse.

 Be accountable and responsible for the timely completion of work tasks as assigned within your functional areas.

 Support innovation. Keep an open mind about proposed change and suggestions for improvement. Seek and promote
collaborative efforts.

 Adhere to established time and attendance policies, lunch and break periods, and leave requesting procedures.

 Limit use of personal calls and internet surfing during work hours (with the exception of emergencies).

 Be accountable and responsible for identifying a back-up when out of the office. Put in place an “out of office notifica-
tion” in Outlook that provides back-up contact information.

 Immediately notify your supervisor of important activities or current or potential issues, before they come to
his/her/their attention from another source, whenever possible.

 Demonstrate effective, professional, and timely communication in all forms. Be mindful of what and how you com-
municate with others.

 Focus on healthy habits (i.e., Effectively manage stress; maintain a work-life balance; take appropriate time to rest,
recharge, and refresh yourself).
