"Bringing elders home" may best sum up the mission of the Tohono O'odham Nursing Care Authority. Located in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, sixty miles west of Tucson, this non-profit Tribal enterprise has, since 2000, helped ensure proper nursing, post-hospital and hospice care for the community's elders, regardless of their ability to pay. The facility was developed so that tribal elders could access quality medical care while remaining on the land they've called home for generations. Most of the 125 employees come from the local community, illustrating a second purpose for the nursing care authority: supporting Indigenous culture and providing jobs with healthcare benefits, education, training assistance and career advancement opportunities. The organization's commitment to serving its community has been recognized nationally, including highest marks from Harvard's Honoring Nations project and a current 5-star rating from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare.
