With the objective of providing outstanding quality healthcare services to its tribal members, the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuks chose to have its own healthcare facility and separate from the M.A.C.T Indian Health Board in December 2001. As a result the Tuolumne Me-Wuk Indian Health Center, Inc. (TMWIHC) began operations in January 2005. The clinic continues to grow to meet the needs of the community.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY?
When should you seek after-hours care instead of waiting for the Health Center to open?
As a general rule, you should seek care after regular Health Center hours in case of a medical emergency or when your medical condition appears to need attention immediately. If your medical condition is worsening quickly or if you are unable to do key activities to provide for yourself, then you should seek care from a community provider. What is a Medical Emergency? A medical emergency is a medical condition that is an immediate threat to your life or long-term health. Conditions such as an open chest wound, spinal injury with a loss of sensation, serious difficulties in breathing, an obvious fracture, unconsciousness (e.g. drug or alcohol overdose), or suicidality constitute medical emergencies. Generally, if your medical condition can wait until the next day for assessment or treatment, it is not a medical emergency. Here are warning signs of a medical emergency, according to the American College of Emergency Physicians:
The following are 24-hour emergency rooms in our area: Tuolumne County Adventist Health 1000 Greenley Road Sonora, CA 95370 (209) 532-5000 Calaveras County Mark Twain St. Joseph's Hospital 768 Mountain Ranch Road San Andreas, CA 95249 (209) 754-3521 Stanislaus County Oak Valley Hospital 275 South Oak Avenue Oakdale, CA 95361 (209) 847-3011 |
