About Us :

The Cherokee Indian Hospital Authority (CIHA) stands as a pillar of healthcare excellence for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians (EBCI), delivering high-quality, patient-centered care while honoring and integrating the rich heritage of Cherokee culture. CIHA’s healthcare system encompasses a comprehensive network of inpatient and outpatient services designed to meet the diverse needs of the community, blending modern medical practices with culturally resonant care models.

At the heart of CIHA is the main hospital located on the Qualla Boundary, a state-of-the-art facility that seamlessly blends contemporary healthcare infrastructure with elements of Cherokee history, arts, crafts, and traditional healing practices. This 20-bed hospital facility, which opened in November 2015, provides inpatient care services, including acute care, emergency services, surgical procedures, and a full range of diagnostic imaging and laboratory services. Every aspect of the hospital environment is thoughtfully designed to promote healing, incorporating cultural motifs and spaces that reflect Cherokee values and traditions.

I am having gallbladder problems. And the staff was very nice. The hospital was so clean. I came in, in pain and left with no pain. They were compassionate. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank y'all for your dedication💕💕 …

I had to visit the ER while on vacation in Cherokee, and I was incredibly impressed with the care I received. The staff and doctor were exceptionally kind and attentive, making a stressful situation much more manageable. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of medical attention.

Brought my 20 month old son in to the emergency department scared to death, not knowing what could possibly be wrong with him and afraid of the worst. They called us back within 5 minutes to be seen! Dr. Reynolds was so professional, kind and assured me that my baby was OK and he found a diagnosis for him within the hour. He also gave my husband and I detailed instructions on how to care for our son. Natalie (I believe she was a registered nurse), Laura Wait, RN, and Mamia Buchanan, RN were ALL so wonderful! I HIGHLY recommend this hospital!
