The Fort Duchesne Service Unit serves Shoshone Indians, Paiute Indians, Skull Valley Goshute Indians and Ute Tribes of the Uintah and Ouray Reservation.
Our Service Unit primarily provides health care to the Ute Indians of the Uintah and Ouray (U & O) Reservation, who are the major population group in this region.
A division of the Shoshoni and related to the Paiutes, the Ute Indians once roamed the territories of Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. The state of Utah derives its name from their proud heritage.
The Fort Duchesne Service Unit encompasses the small northwestern band of Shoshone Indians, the Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah and the Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians as well as the Ute Tribes of the Uintah and Ouray Reservations. However, only the Ute Tribes of the U & O reservations have direct access to the health center. We serve this community of about 4,250 people. The other tribes receive care through contract health services and other state-aided health care programs.
Ft. Duchesne is less than 3 hours East of Salt Lake City, Utah. It sits within the bowl of the Uintah Basin and is surrounded by mountains. The area varies greatly in elevation and its upper peaks are often crested with snow. You will experience winter temperatures around 20 degrees and summer highs of 90 degrees.
