Midwest Minnesota CDC allocated $10M to assist with a portion of the $17.9M development, construction, equipment, and other project costs for a new health center in Naytahwaush on the White Earth Reservation.

The new health center facility is 29,033 sq. ft. (with room for future expansion) and has the ability to provide family practice, lab, pharmacy, PT, OT, dental, behavioral health, and other related services.

The project created 53 new FTE jobs for the White Earth Reservation, located in Becker, Clearwater and Mahnomen counties in north-central Minnesota. The new facility delivers healthcare to White Earth Band tribal members and Native Americans living on the reservation or living nearby and seeking direct care services.
