Project Description On the north coast of California, United Indian Health Services (UIHS) has created a state-of-the-art health facility that serves nine tribes and more than 13,000 American Indians, consisting mainly of Yurok, Weeot and Tolowa Tribal members. The Potawot Health Village has been built in Arcata to replace a smaller clinic in nearby Trinidad that UIHS has outgrown. The new 42,000-square-foot facility is on a 40-acre site adjacent to the existing Mad River Community Hospital. With the opening of the new Potawot Health Village, the access to health care for patients served has dramatically improved, and the new facility's more convenient location has improved its ability to provide urgent care. The clinic provides comprehensive health care, including medical, dental, and mental health, nutrition and community services. The Health Village is also the central feeder site for several remote clinics in the region. UIHS's nationally recognized tobacco awareness and diabetes prevention programs are featured at the new Health Village. The New UIHS Pharmacy has the latest technology, with automated prescription filling capabilities to ensure the pharmacy staff spends more time with patients. We are proud of our new facility which enables us to better serve the UIHS community!
