Chemawa completes remodel
SALEM – The Indian Health Service’s Chemawa-Western Oregon
Service Unit held a rededication ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 19, for its
remodeled facility that serves more than 6,000 registered patients.
The modernization construction started in early 2016 and included ap-
proximately 12,000 square feet of existing space that was remodeled for
primary care, eye care, behavioral health and business offices. Approxi-
mately 2,000 square feet of new space was added for a patient wing and
wellness center.
The building was first constructed in 1979 and was originally known
as the Chemawa Indian Health Center. It was designed primarily as a
student health center for Chemawa Indian School and also for Native
American and Alaska Natives living in the Salem area. Shortly after it
was constructed, it was transferred from the Bureau of Indian Affairs to
the Indian Health Service.
Today, the facility continues to provide health services to the students
as well as Tribal members from more than 100 Tribes.
“We are excited that this day has come for the community,” said Dean
Seyler, Portland Area Indian Health Service director. “We’ve seen sig-
nificant growth in the service population as Chemawa, which made the
modernization project necessary.”
