(KNZA)--A major financial boost for the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas Health Center.
That comes through more than $2.8 million awarded through the Indian Health Service Small Ambulatory Program. According to a release from the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, the funds will be used for the expansion of the Health Center.
The funding is part of $25 million awarded in fiscal year 2024 to eight tribes and tribal organizations to invest in the construction, expansion, or modernization of small ambulatory health care facilities.
According to the release, the SAP has supported 91 projects totaling over $203 million, since 2001, strengthening tribal health infrastructure and expanding access to essential outpatient services.
The Tribe, in the release, gives what it calls "our deepest appreciation to Jonnah McKinney, Director of the Health Center, for her leadership and dedication in securing this critical funding," adding that through "her hard work and commitment to improving health care services" for the community, those services "will have a lasting impact."
The release also acknowledges what it calls "our incredible clinic staff," thanking them for "everything they do for our patients every day."
