About the space:
The River People Health Center is a community of care dedicated to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and wellness of all Native people. The Health Center is located on the southwest quadrant of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and is affiliated with the Phoenix Indian Medical Center. The new facility is oriented so that patients and their families see Red Mountain, South Mountain, Papago Buttes and Camelback Mountain. These four peaks provide a sense of comfort and healing for the Community. The Health Center provides quality health care that is comprehensive, compassionate, and culturally respectful.
Championing a holistic approach to health and wellness, the three-story River People Health Center provides primary care along with an array of needed specialties identified by the Community. The first floor houses women’s and pediatric care, a wellness department, access to an outdoor wellness path, a rehabilitative terrain park, and a demonstration kitchen and food garden. Specialty care services on the second level include a large dental department with 35 service bays, optometry, audiology, podiatry, and behavioral health. Outpatient imaging, a lab and a drive-through Ph*rm*cy support the clinics.
