The Recovery Act health facility construction funds will be used to complete the construction of the new IHS Eagle Butte Health Center in South Dakota and the Norton Sound Regional Hospital in Nome, Alaska.Sanitation facilities funds will be used to complete 169 sanitation facilities projects constructed in 24 states.These projects will provide potable water, wastewater disposal and solid waste systems to American Indian and Alaska Native homes and communities. An estimated 16,000 homes will be served by these projects, which will also help foster economic growth and create jobs.ARRA will also fund 302 maintenance and improvement projects.Many IHS and tribal facilities require structural renovations, additional space, and design updates to accommodate modern health care delivery practices.These projects will help maintain and improve facilities, which will improve patient care.These projects will also result in enhanced energy conservation and provide local jobs and economic stimulus.Finally, Recovery Act funds will be used to purchase over 200 pieces of medical equipment, including 35 ambulances and 10 Computed Tomography (CT) scanners, all of which will contribute substantially to patient care.
