Our Story
GSP Health is a Federally Qualified Health Center providing comprehensive medical, dental, and behavioral health care for families and individuals, of all ages, incomes and occupations, in our community and surrounding areas.
Our mission is to increase access to comprehensive primary and preventive health care to all and to improve the health care status of underserved and vulnerable populations within GSP Health’s geographical area.
Great Salt Plains Health Center began in 2007 with a dream and a vision of community leaders in Cherokee, Oklahoma. On September 3, 2007, the United States Department of Health and Human Services announced plans to award grant funding to Great Salt Plains Health Center for the development of a community health center. The $600,000 grant was to bring affordable, comprehensive primary, oral and behavioral health care to the residents of Cherokee and Alfalfa County as well as the surrounding area. Since that time, GSP Health was awarded additional federal grants to open new access points in Medford, Oklahoma, and Canton, Oklahoma. Seeing a need in Enid, Oklahoma, due to the number of medically underserved patients from Enid traveling to our rural clinics, the GSP Health board of directors made the decision to use their own funding to open a clinic in Enid without a federal grant, providing primary medical care and behavioral health services to Garfield County and the surrounding region.
As a nonprofit 501c3 Cherokee, Oklahoma-based corporation, we proudly provide access to quality healthcare in our rural and underserved region. We accept clients with and without insurance coverage. Qualifying uninsured patients can be seen for as little as $20 utilizing our income-based sliding fee scale. We offer primary medical care including women’s health services, dentistry, counseling, X-ray and laboratory services. GSP Health provides better access to health care in a better primary care setting to bring better health to those who call our region of the country home.
