History
By 1960 the sanitorium had relocated 1 mile South of Shawnee, to a building that was originally built and used as the US Government Shawnee Boarding School. The sanatorium for tubercular patients was closed in 1962 and reopened as an Indian Health Clinic until 1979. In 1989 the Absentee Shawnee began using the old sanatorium for their governmental operations. Today there are numerous tribal operations located on the complex grounds.
