Last Friday, we were pleased to welcome U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin and members of her staff to the Gerald L. Ignace Indian Health Center for a tour of our newly expanded spaces.
In 2022, GLIIHC was invited through Senator Baldwin’s office to submit a Congressional Budget Request for capital expansion funding through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). GLIIHC was grateful to receive the Congressional Budget Allocation, which helped make this expansion possible.
The funding allowed us to expand our Behavioral Health Department and create space for new Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology services, expanding access to culturally relevant care for Native children and families.
During their visit, Senator Baldwin and her team had the opportunity to see firsthand how this investment has transformed our space and expanded the services we can provide to our community.
Thank you, Senator Baldwin, and your team, for taking the time to visit GLIIHC and see the impact of this investment.
