As many know, we are well underway in our remodel at our Arcata Potawot Health Village location. We are still hoping for our completion date to be by the end of 2025. This remodel is to expand, update and better serve all of clients across multiple departments.
We began this remodel in August, 2024, with the move of WIC into the wing of Tribal Public Health and moved Pharmacy into the previously known WIC space. This re-modeled space will help our Pharmacy to accommodate the growing rate of clients they serve along with providing them new equipment so they can be more efficient.
Our PRC representative has been relocated to the Gathering Room and has been seeing clients in their new space. We appreciate how flexible and understanding our clients have been during this busy time of change.
This remodel expanded beyond our original plans, and we ended up needing to add our Vision Department to this project as well. We temporarily moved our vision department out of our Potawot location and into our new Eureka location ( Jaroujiji). We added a few minor changes in their space along with new flooring.
As for medical, we are well underway with the remodel. We are continuing with our addition to the building in the back near the employee parking lot. This will provide medical with some much needed extra space. The remodel to the existing medical area is extensive and will include all exam rooms along with the lab. We know that some of the work that has been going on has been loud, so we apologize to both our staff and clients during this time!
We know that this remodel/addition will eventually impact medical and their ability to see clients. For this we will be utilizing some of our other locations and moving providers to different locations. When this time comes, we will be sure to communicate with each and every client along with utilizing our social media and mailing lists.
Again, we truly appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding, and we are so excited to complete this project so we can better serve all of our clients!
