The Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe plans to open a new $40 million health care center in Sisseton, South Dakota.
The Indian Health Service will fund the 85,000-square-foot facility. It will be more than three times as large as the tribe's existing hospital, which dates to the 1920s.
The tribe will open the bidding process for construction of the center on Monday.
