4.76 About Nasomah

About Nasomah Health Group

Nasomah Health Group was established in 1998 to provide comprehensive health coverage to the eligible employees of the Coquille Indian Tribe, as well as tribal members living outside the tribe’s five-county service area (Coos, Curry, Douglas, Lane, and Jackson counties).

The name “Nasomah” comes from the Miluk language spoken by many of our Native ancestors. It means “People of the Great Water.”

Coquille Tribal member Jennifer Mecum designed the Nasomah Logo, which incorporates four animals – a salmon, an eagle, a whale and a wolf.
