Sophie Trettevick Indian Health Center is located in the seaside fishing village of Neah Bay on the Makah Indian Reservation across the waters from Vancouver Island, British Columbia and nestled amongst coastal mountains. Our Mission is to raise the physical, mental, social and spiritual health of American Indian and Alaska Natives to the highest level.
The primary care clinic staff provide care for a challenging and varied range of health conditions with approximately 15,000 patient visits annually. The clinic has a full pharmacy, dental services, minimal in-house laboratory, and an x-ray machine.
The Sophie Trettevick Indian Health Center clinic is fully accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAHC). The clinic was formally compacted by the Tribe in 2006 and is now a Tribally operated clinic.
Part of the Makah Indian Reservation, the seaside fishing village of Neah Bay is across the waters from Vancouver Island, British Columbia and nestled amongst coastal mountains. One narrow, serpentine road winds along the coastline to connect the village to the Olympic Peninsula.
Rocky headlands and wide sandy beaches typify the shoreline of the Reservation, of which over 1,000 acres of the Tribal trust land bordering the Pacific Ocean has been reserved as a Wilderness Area. An abundance of fish and seafood are available for those who enjoy the culinary delights of the sea. Pristine beaches, sea stacks, and hikes through mossy pine forests are some of the local attractions that visitors enjoy. Kayaking, hiking, fishing, and surfing make this an attractive place to visit for outdoor enthusiasts.
