The Lawton Service Unit encompasses ten counties in the southwestern corner of Oklahoma, where 25,000 members of the Caddo, Comanche, Delaware, Fort Sill Apache, Kiowa, Apache, and Wichita tribes are concentrated. Although mountains and small lakes adorn the rugged landscape, this is great plains country.

The Lawton Service Unit includes the Lawton Indian Hospital, the Anadarko Health Center, and the Carnegie Health Station.

We appreciate hearing from our patients. If you have questions, comments or concerns please contact the Lawton Indian Hospital Administrative Officer John Bear via email at john.bear@ihs.gov, or phone 580-354-5100.

Situated in Lawton, the third largest city in Oklahoma, the Indian hospital is thoroughly modern. This full service facility has 26 beds and a staff of 23 physicians, 1 oral surgeon, 1 dentist, 2 optometrists, 1 podiatrist, 1 nurse practitioner, 1 behavioral health counselor, and 1 physical therapist.

This full-service facility offers inpatient care including general surgery, gynecology, internal medicine, and pediatrics, as well as outpatient services in medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, radiology, laboratory, nursing, optometry, podiatry, and audiology to name a few. There is also a community health staff of nurses, educators, social workers, and environmental health specialists.

Over 800 adult and pediatric admissions annually combine with almost 100,000 outpatient visits to make this a busy health care facility.

The city of Lawton-Ft. Sill, only 85 miles southwest of Oklahoma City, has a population of roughly 100,000. Surrounded by mountains and small lakes, the city enjoys a stable economy, largely due to the 26,000 service personnel on active duty at Fort Sill and an equal number of former Army members who chose to make Lawton their home after retiring from the service.
