Journey Statement and Status
Journey
The Department of Health shall seek to assist tribal members in attaining an overall improved health status, and in obtaining health services that meet generally accepted standards of care. In doing so, the Department shall safeguard the interests of the Tribe, enhance the sovereignty of the Tribe, and exercise stewardship over those resources committed to it by the Tribe.
Current Status
The status of the Department of Health is one described as a “body in motion.” Currently, our department has diverse programs all contributing to the health and wellness of our tribal community, their families, and the greater community. Likened to the weaving of a basket, our story has so much imprint within the hearts of our members. Every day, we are weaving the pattern of Wellness for all. Through the continued creation, collaboration, and dedicated commitment of our growing Health Warriors, we will continue to support the weaving of our story; whether it is through the vision of the basket, the collection of materials, the actual weaving, or simply, the use of the basket, we all have a place and are committed to the growth taking place.

Purchased Referred Care Program
Purchase Referred Care (PRC) Program is a program of services not provided directly through Wilton Rancheria’s Department of Health. These services are made available to all eligible tribal members based upon criteria set forth in the Department of Health Policy and Procedures. Federal funds received to support the PRC program are not enough to cover all of Wilton Rancheria’s tribal member healthcare needs, therefore, Wilton Rancheria Department of Health (DOH) is required to implement eligibility guidelines and payment process. The PRC program is a “payor of last resort” and not a medical insurance company or to be utilized as an alternative to medical insurance.
