Our Logo
The logo was designed to complement the mission statement of the hospital which is based on Dine philosophy and the teachings of achieving Hózhó.
The idea of the logo comes from the four sacred cardinal directions of the Navajo and the Red Cross symbol which often signifies a hospital or medical service facility. Rather than making the cross red, it incorporates the colors associated with each direction - east is white, south is turquoise, west is yellow, and finally north is black. The sun rise represents life, a new beginning for the hospital and the hope that each patient will achieve renewed health. The sun rays represent the seven divisions within Fort Defiance Indian Hospital Board, Inc. - Administration, Finance, Human Resources, Healthy Living & Outreach, Medical, Nursing, and Quality Services.
Other concepts include that the blue in the logo represents the rocks located east of the facility that line Fort Defiance, AZ.
Tsé meaning rock forms. Hootsooí meaning the meadows in the valley of Fort Defiance.
