Okmulgee Colored Hospital

Okmulgee County · 210 N. Wood Dr. in Okmulgee

In 1922, Okmulgee’s Black citizens secured $25,000 in donations to fund construction of the first "colored hospital" to be opened in the state of Oklahoma. Black citizens formed the Colored Hospital Association in 1924. The hospital housed 18–20 beds with living quarters for a staff of six to seven nurses. It closed in 1957 when Okmulgee integrated its health facilities. The building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
