Parker PHS Indian Hospital, located in Parker, Arizona, provides quality health care to the members of five Native American tribes. Numbering more than 5,200, the Indians who live in the Colorado Service Unit are comprised of the Colorado River Indians (an ethnic mix of Mojave, Hopi, Navajo, and Chemehuevi), Hualapai, Havasupai, Chemehuevi, and Fort Mojave tribes. The 20-bed JCAHO-accredited hospital is staffed by five physicians and one physician's assistant. This tribal hospital was the first in the country to get the inpatient beds also licensed as swing beds. The Indian community is provided with general medical care and pediatric services. Specialty outpatient services are provided on-site by IHS, by contract specialists or by off-site referrals. Obstetric patients are generally sent for delivery to local private facilities. Patients requiring surgical and more complex hospitalizations are referred to Phoenix Indian Medical Center, about 150 miles away.
