In this episode of A Look at Urban Indian Health in Oklahoma City with Robyn Sunday-Allen, host River Carroll, M.L.S. (Cheyenne and Arapaho), Policy and Events Communications Associate at the National Council of Urban Indian Health, talks with Robyn Sunday-Allen, RN, MPH (Cherokee Nation), Chief Executive Officer of the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic and incoming NCUIH Board President. Robyn reflects on her leadership journey from a new nurse fulfilling a service commitment to leading one of the nation’s largest urban Indian health organizations. She discusses the clinic’s work serving more than 25,000 patients from over 220 tribes, with a strong focus on preventive care and whole person wellness across the lifespan. The conversation also explores emerging health challenges in urban Indian communities — including rising cancer rates and growing behavioral health needs among youth — as well as the importance of advocacy, urban confer, and equitable funding to ensure urban Indian organizations have a voice at decision making tables and the resources needed to deliver high quality care.
