The Santo Domingo Health Center Expansion project will add 37,170 square feet of space attached to the current facility. Upon completion of this project, the total square footage for the Health Center will be 57,631. The expansion project will focus on critical health services being provided as well as staff requirements who currently have outgrown their space. Specifically Primary Care, Pharmacy, Behavioral Health, and Lab services have increased significantly over the years mainly from having a qualified and stable panel of professional providers.

The project’s estimated cost is $11.5 million and is projected to break ground in the fall of this year. The construction will take approximately one year to complete sometime in the fall of 2019.

The expansion will support the mission and vision of KPHC while adding sufficient space for the delivery of specialty services currently being referred out. By providing these services in-house, KPHC will address health care disparities affecting the Native American population.

New services will include imaging and physical therapy as well as areas specific for women’s health, and pediatrics.

Imaging services generally referred are basic x-ray, mammography, CT and MRI. This expansion will assist KPHC in providing on-site x-ray services and planning for future CT and MRI services. This will allow our providers to get results back and provide timely treatment to our patients.

Physical Therapy (PT)/ Occupational Therapy (OT) specialty services are in high demand due to our active and aging population. Our current facility provides basic Physical Therapy services as well as some in-home therapy. KPHC plans to expand services, appointment availability and increase access to care.

Women’s Health services are currently being provided by our primary care providers. KPHC plans to expand our services internally and externally. Our current providers were recruited with experience in women’s health to increase services such as regular check-ups, mammography, colposcopy and maternal health.
