Health Center update
Planning for a tribal Health and
Wellness Center moved ahead on
Wednesday, May 28, as the Tribal
Council passed a resolution to ac
cept a financial feasibility analy
sis on the project. The next step
will be to complete the design of
the clinic.
The Health and Wellness Cen
ter will be about 26,430 square
feet and include the medical, den
tal, pharmacy, community coun
seling services and health admin
istration. Financing may be by is
suance of revenue bonds.
The financial feasibility study
was undertaken to determine if the
center could meet debt payments
to cover the costs of constructing
the facility, and annual operating
costs. The study indicated that the
facility could generate sufficient
revenues to cover the debt pay
ments and could provide addi
tional revenues for the Tribe.
Funding for the services would
come from Indian Health Service
contract funds and third-party re
imbursements. The expected cost
of the facility is $3.5 million.
Construction could start in April
1 996 and opening would be April
1997. The clinic would serve
tribal and community members.
Tribal members and other Indian
user population is estimated at
79, while the non Indian user
population is estimated at 21.
Look in the next issue of Smoke
Signals for more information on
the Health and Wellness Center.
