Miwok Indians To Open Community Health Clinic

Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians recently announced October 3 as the opening date for the all new Community Health Clinic, located adjacent to Red Hawk Casino at Red Hawk Parkway.

The new 60,000 square foot clinic, which includes two floors of parking, will replace the existing 17,000 square foot facility located on Mother Lode Road in Shingle Springs. Complete with three floors of medical, dental and administrative offices, it will continue to provide all aspects of ambulatory medical care with expanded services including family practice, pediatrics, orthopedic, physical therapy, podiatry, chiropractic, dentistry, orthodontics and mental health along with pain management via telemedicine. The current clinic had 20,000 patient visits in 2010 and with the opening of the new expanded facility that number is expected to increase by at least 20%.

The Community Health Clinic will be open Monday through Friday and offers appointment and walk in services from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The original Community Health Clinic has been in operation since 1995 and is available for everyone in need of care. From home visits, to a diabetes program that includes an outreach to closely monitor patients, the Community Health Clinic provides much needed services to tribal members and residents of El Dorado County.

We are looking forward to this new addition to the community!
