About
“Founded in 1976 by Dr. Vernon Dyer, a Choctaw and Prairie Band Potawatomi OB/GYN physician, Hunter Health was founded out of an urgent need for culturally relevant healthcare services tailored to the Urban Native American community of Wichita. Initially operating from a room at the Mid-America All-Indian Center, our rapid growth spurred a move to a more expansive location at Central and Grove by 1978.”
Evolving with Indian Health Service Funding:
By 1980, our clinic was able to expand its services with federal funding that set Hunter Health apart as the first program of its kind in Kansas. In recognition of this, and to emphasize our dedication to the Native American community, the clinic took on the name “Hunter Health” in 1985, in honor of Jay and Vera Hunter — revered Native American elders and educators.“- from their website
Hunter Health is recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as a Patient-Centered Medical Home.
