The tribe is jointly funding the 70,000-square-foot with the Indian Health Service. it will provide diagnostic, pharmacy, dental, eye care, diabetes, health education, physical therapy and other services.

“This is going to be a very important asset to the tribe and tribal members for providing health care in that rural environment,” the project director told The Journal Record. “This is something that’s very much needed.”
