About this facility
TheHealth & Wellness Center (HWC) is the largest rural Community Health Center (CHC) in Oklahoma. Their vision began in 2003 when a group of community-minded individuals saw the need for access to quality, affordable care. They have been proudly serving southeastern Oklahoma since 2005 with one simple goal in mind: commitment to providing quality healthcare.
The center currently has 7 healthcare clinics, 3 pharmacies, 2 residential substance use recovery facilities, as well as a mobile dental unit that provides care throughout their service areas. The Oaks of McAlester provides substance use disorder treatment for men and women, including women with children. The Pines of Poteau, the newest recovery facility in the HWC network, provides substance use disorder treatment for adult males aged 18 and older.
HWC provides medication assisted treatment (MAT) services including Suboxone treatment and counseling for opioid use disorder. HWC also offers many of their services virtually. In 2021, HWC added 20 Head Start facilities, serving 700 children. The Health & Wellness Center’s mission is to provide comprehensive services, enrich lives by investing in their communities, and improve quality of life.
