    GENERAL INFO ABOUT THE HOSPITAL: CCHCF is a Navajo Area Indian Health Service (NAIHS) facility based in Chinle Arizona (Northeast Arizona near Canyon De Chelly National Monument). The CCHCF is a 60bed hospital which serves as the health care hub for the region providing medical care for approximately 35000 Navajo. Serving a rural area many of their patients travel 100 miles round trip to receive care and do not have electricity or running water in their homes. In addition most of their elderly patients speak only Navajo and live according to traditional Navajo cultural practices. Strong Navajo cultural traditions exist within the community offering an opportunity to learn the Navajo language and/or to learn about traditional Navajo medicine.

    ABOUT THE AREA: CCHF is located on the Colorado Plateau with excellent opportunities for photography hiking running road biking cross country skiing and mountain biking. Canyon de Chelly National Monument (the attached pic) is within 5 miles of the hospital and is a wonderful place for exploring and sightseeing running and mountain biking.
