The Mary Mahoney Memorial Health Center has been a viable force in northeastern Oklahoma County since 1973, when it opened its doors in the old Dunjee High School building, approximately
three blocks north of the Centers’ present location. It is a private, nonprofit comprehensive primary health care facility sponsored by Community Health Centers, Inc.
The Center was named for Mary Eliza Mahoney, who was the first black professional nurse in the United States. The American Nurses Association awards a medal in her honor at each biennial meeting. This distinguished award is bestowed upon the member of the Association who has made a significant contribution to integration within the profession.
Today, located at 12716 NE 36th Street, the Center served more than 14,000 medical, dental and social service users in 1999. The high quality services are available, accessible and affordable.
The Center is NOT a FREE Clinic. Fees are
adjusted on a sliding scale according to
family size and income. The fee is
determined when users register is updated
annually.
Documentation of eligibility for sliding fee schedule is verified by
presenting one of the following: W-2 Form, Income Tax Return, Letter from employer, Pay check stub. There is a minimum charge for most services. No one is turned away due to inability to pay. Our finance office assists with arranging payment plans. Our physicians and dentists are participants in a number of health plans.
The Centers’ primary focus is on early detection and diagnosis of conditions, disease prevention and health promotion. It serves as the entry point into the health care delivery system for many of its users.
In addition to Mary Mahoney, the Center operates a health Care for Homeless program—Healing Hands Health Services at 411 NW 11th Street in Oklahoma City. Access to comprehensive primary care services were made available to over 2,000 homeless infants, children, youth and adults in 1999.
