Ground Breaking Ceremony
June 4th, 2025 – Thank you to everyone who joined us for the groundbreaking ceremony of our new health facility in Southwest Detroit, District 6. It was a powerful moment to celebrate the partners, supporters, and community members who helped make this vision a reality.
With construction underway, this site will soon become a place of healing, connection, and expanded access to culturally informed care for Native American and underserved families across Southeastern Michigan.
As the summer wound down back in August of 2022, we hosted a Land Blessing for this site in preparation for this day. Click here for more on that.
We’re proud to have taken this next step together, toward a healthier future for our community.
