Oneida Comprehensive Health Division

We are excited to welcome Betsy Hoida as the new Clinical Pharmacist for the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division.

Betsy brings valuable experience to this role. She has been part of Oneida Comprehensive Health Division for the past three years. She previously served as a staff pharmacist. Her professional background is primarily in hospital pharmacy, along with experience in retail pharmacy gives her a well-rounded perspective on patient care across different healthcare settings.

As a Clinical Pharmacist, Betsy plays an essential role in supporting the health and well-being of the Oneida Nation community. She works closely with patients and providers to ensure medications are safe, effective, and tailored to individual needs helping manage chronic conditions, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life. This role strengthens patient education, promotes safer medication use, and enhances positive health outcomes throughout our community.

We’re also excited to share that Betsy is already accepting appointments further expanding access to personalized medication support and care.

June is Men’s Mental Health Month, a time to recognize that mental health matters for every man in our community. The Oneida Comprehensive Health Division encourages men to speak up, seek support, and check in with one another, because strength includes asking for help. Together, we can break the stigma and build a healthier, stronger future for all.

Today, the Oneida Comprehensive Health Division joins communities worldwide in recognizing World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Elder abuse is not only a safety concern—it is a public health and human rights issue that impacts the health, well-being, and dignity of our elders.

Our elders are the foundation of our community - keepers of culture, knowledge, and history. They deserve to be treated with honor, respect, and compassion in every interaction and setting.

Elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation can happen to anyone, and too often it goes unreported. Together, we can change that.

💜 Take a stand today:
✔️ Learn the signs
✔️ Check in on elders in your life
✔️ Speak up if something doesn’t feel right

When we stand together, we help ensure every elder lives with the dignity, safety, and respect they deserve. We all have a role in protecting our elders. Together, we can break the silence and build a safer, more supportive community.

💜 Wear purple today to show your support.

On Tuesday, June 9th, Aging and Disability Director, Jodi Tess, Caregiver and Prevention Supervisor, Breanna Phillips, Oneida Comprehensive Health Division Longterm Care Manager, Carrie Lindsey, and members of GLITC hosted a Tribal APS (Adult Protective Services) Roundtable. APS professionals and tribes from around the state gathered to build our partnerships, share resources, and learn more about the needs of our elders and what we can do to protect them and heal them from physical, Emotional/Psychological, Sexual abuse, financial exploitation, and neglect.

A special Yaw^ko to everyone who attended and everyone in the community who joined us in welcoming our guests. 💜 💟
