On July 1, 2018, the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska assumed management of the hospital and it was renamed Twelve Clans Unity Hospital in honor of the twelve traditional clans of the Winnebago Tribe. In 2018, the Tribe completed negotiations with the Indian Health Service and entered into a Tribal Self-Governance Compact pursuant to Title V of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act to carry out health program for the Tribe. In 2015 the Winnebago Tribe established a Self-Governance Steering Committee to plan and prepare for expanded public health services and eventual assumption of the hospital, formally known as the Omaha-Winnebago Hospital. Since then, it has grown to more than sixteen different programs to provide the vast array of health services available that are now available for the Winnebago Community. The Health Department was formed by the Tribe in the late 1970s starting with Public Health Nursing and Community Health Representatives. Prior to WCHS being established, the health department was operated as an internal program of the Tribe and the hospital in Winnebago was managed by Indian Health Services (IHS). WCHS is comprised of two divisions: The Winnebago Public Health Department (WPHD) and Twelve Clans Unity Hospital (TCUH). The Winnebago Comprehensive Healthcare System (WCHS) was established by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska to carry out health care services on behalf of the Tribe.
