  • The Old Indian Tuberculosis hospital opened up in the late 1900's for many Chickasaw and Choctaw patients. The Talihina Indian Hospital Was opened up in1938 for all Native American patients throughout Oklahoma, which it was purchased by the Choctaw Nation. After 61 years of operation, the Talihina Indian Hospital closed its doors in 1999 and moved 2 mi. south of this site to a new a facility by the Choctaw Nation. The place had problems with many things in its time, especially, with high of asbestos. Now this abandoned Indian hospital is now placed in the Oklahoma Historical Society and registered as the historic landmark within the state and the Choctaw Nation. ‪@ChoctawNationOK‬ ‪@AdventuresIntoHistory‬ ‪@DigitalFeatherMedia‬ ‪@ChickasawTV‬ ‪@chickasawnationcultureandh9224‬ ‪@okhistoricalsociety‬ ‪@CC_Outdoors‬

    I live in Baltimore, Maryland and worked at the Old Veterans Hospital at Fort Howard. It was a SPOOKY place to work in the 1980s. Like this building it was eventually fenced off and parts are now demolished.
    Sadly, these hospitals are being eliminated to erase the history of the public hospitals that used to treat people for free. The people in those buildings went through hell. They get replaced with modernized medical establishments. IF they are like Johns Hopkins, they get built on old cemeteries where people were provided free burials before the corporate cemetery industry was created.
    Before this there was the old world where every NATURAL illness had a natural root or plant to cure it. Now, supernatural practices created supernatural illness and we need trained medical professionals to tell us how we feel.
    Much love from Baltimore, Maryland - Loved the story.

    Since this was a tuberculosis Hospital is there a large cemetery associated with this place? Thanks to your family members and all who worked here in healthcare.. Healthcare today is really not what it used to be we need a lot more of the old school people who went into it because they really care for other people.

      Yes, but it was just a half mile south from this site. And Yes, I totally agree.

    I imagine that was beautiful back in it’s day. Do they have any plans for it? Demolition? I would hope they might be able to repurpose it for something.

      The Choctaws did had plans to try and renovate it, but it failed through, some environmental issues.

      @@hizprezhistorydestination2024 Yes Your wife descends from Samuel Bohanon the preacher. My line is his half brother Ellis Bohanan. They shared the same father William Bohanan Jr. 2 sisters Betsey Anderson and Phoebe Anderson were married to William Bohanan Jr. Phoebe was Samuel Bohanan's mother. Ellis mother was Betsey Anderson. Phoebe and Betsey were daughters of Daniel Anderson and Jenny Baptiste/Battiest.
      Most Bohanan's in the Sardis area and cemetery is my line.
      We're part of a big big family of William Bohannon Sr and Choctaw wife. Their kids John, Joshua, Silas, William Bohanan Jr, Mary Anderson Bohanon and Susan Bohannon Spring. A lot of the cousins work at the Choctaw Nation or did.

      @@dmfields42 Well this is pretty awesome. I would have to tell my wife about this. Yeah, my wife and I was looking into her Bohanon side family tree and yes, it is huge. We both went to Mississippi last year and a friend of mine new where the section of the Bohanon family land was located. In which it was just a few miles northwest corner of Starkville, MS before removing from the homelands during the removal.
      And Springs, yes, I know a Spring who actually works at the Choctaw Cultural Center and his name is Ryan Spring. His dad is Gary Spring who now resides in Talihina. They are many Spring family that resides in Hugo, OK as well that I believe to be in the same lineage as well.
      I believe my wife's family through Samuel and Thomas Bohanon are buried at the Old Bohanon Cemetery near Whitesboro, OK.

    I was born here in August of 1983. Does anyone have an address on this?

      Not that I am aware of. Contact the Choctaw Health Clinic in Talihina, OK and they should be able to give you the address.
