About Toiyabe Indian Health Project The Northern Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe people were the indigenous populations that inhabited the valley and mountain areas of the Eastern Sierra Nevada. For years, as long as the indigenous people can recall, they have lived and survived from the lands of the Eastern Sierra Nevada mountains. These lands provided numerous animals and vegetation which the Native people used to sustain life in a peaceful, harmonious setting. Much has changed since those early days, but quality healthcare remains an important need, not only for the American Indians but for all who live in the Eastern Sierra region. Healthcare services have progressed from the days when caravans and rides were set up to take local American Indians to the Indian Health Service hospital in Schurz, NV. Thanks in large part to the community leaders who started the Tri-County Indian Health Project in 1968, articles of incorporation were adopted in 1971 for the Toiyabe Indian Health Project, Inc. Originally, Toiyabe was located in a small building on the Bishop Paiute Tribe's Reservation. However, since that time, Toiyabe has grown in size and scope to today's modern facilities, featuring services that we are proud to offer to all of our American Indian patients and clients, as well as the community in general. Toiyabe staffs 3 clinic locations (Bishop, Lone Pine and Coleville Clinics) in addition to Dialysis Clinic in Bishop. We support Medical, Dental, Optical, Family Services and Public Health departments. Our team of 130+ employees is comprised of more than 50% native American employees.
