The Chikasha Ihoo Empowerment Series returns with a new session featuring a prominent Chickasaw woman speaking on an important topic related to their point of view. The series highlights the unique perspective of Chickasaw women worldwide.
This year’s speaker is Commander Kayla Dewitt, a proud citizen of the Chickasaw Nation serving as the manager and physical therapist for the Empowered Living Clinic, the Chickasaw Nation’s pioneering pediatric obesity clinic. She earned her Bachelor of Science in health studies from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2010 and doctor of physical therapy degree in 2012. After graduation, she became the first physical therapist at the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic, where she developed its inaugural physical therapy department. In 2001, she joined Empowered Living as lead physical therapists, contributing to the nation’s first and only tribal pediatric obesity clinic. Commander Dewitt is dedicated to advancing health care and improving the well-being of children and teens in her community.
