Location
The Klamath Tribes are located in southern Oregon in the Klamath Basin. The Tribe has approximately 3700 members. Since the Klamath Tribes were one of the tribes terminated from federal recognition in the 1950s and later restored to federal recognition in 1986 they no longer have a reservation. In the restoration agreement The Klamath Tribes service area was designated as all of Klamath County. 
Klamath Tribal Health & Family Services operates a rural outpatient clinic that serves the local Native American population. The Klamath Tribes Health & Wellness Center opened in January of 2006; prior to opening the new center healthcare services were provided from two modular buildings in Chiloquin and a satellite pharmacy in Klamath Falls. The Klamath Tribes Health & Wellness Center is located in Chiloquin, Oregon, approximately 30 miles north of Klamath Falls. The center houses an outpatient medical clinic, a six chair dental clinic and a full pharmacy. Alcohol & Drug Abuse and Behavioral Health Services are provided in both Chiloquin and Klamath Falls.
