Chickasaw Nation Medical Center
Rooted in Chickasaw culture, this 358,000-square-foot replacement hospital reflects the art, traditions, and identity of the Nation. The design draws inspiration from Native American basket weaving and textiles, influencing fenestration and surface treatments, while traditional Chickasaw colors—rich in spiritual and cultural significance—are woven throughout the building.
More than a healthcare facility, the center serves as a hub for community and connection. A central “town center” space anchors the building, seamlessly linking hospital and clinic functions while fostering engagement, health education, and a shared commitment to well-being. The entire site is designed as a healing environment, with a network of restorative landscapes that offer moments of reflection and renewal.
