The 30,000-sf Nimiipuu Health Center will rise just across the street from the existing health center and is expected to be three to four times larger. It will house more services, including medical, dental, diagnostic imaging, a full laboratory, community health and behavioral health.
"One of the driving forces behind this new clinic is the need for expanded medical services so tribal members don't have to go all the way to Lewiston for multiple treatments," says Bob Weisenbach, MulvannyG2 principal and lead designer of the project. "The other driving force is including all the various departments under one roof to improve patient care and staff efficiency."
MulvannyG2 has designed numerous Native American health centers, including the Kwawachee Health Center in Tacoma, WA., the Tulalip Health Clinic in Marysville, WA. and the Potawot Health Village in Arcata, CA.
