This award will help bring a new, modern health center to the community.\n\nEstablished in 1991 under the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, the JVCP is a partnership program where Tribes finance the construction of healthcare facilities that meet IHS standards. In return, IHS uses federal funding from Congress to staff and operate the facility under a no-cost, 20-year lease.\n\nFollowing a highly competitive process, the Ak-Chin Indian Community was one of only seven Tribes selected nationwide and the only recipient in Arizona. Leaders envision a full-service facility offering primary care, dental, behavioral health, specialty care, and more. Construction is expected to begin in approximately one year, with completion anticipated within three years.\n\nRep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) has voiced strong support for this partnership and applauds IHS for prioritizing the needs of the Ak-Chin Indian Community.\n\n\u201cI want to thank the Indian Health Service for its support of the Ak-Chin Indian Community. This is a historic investment in rural healthcare,\u201d said Rep. Crane. \u201cThe new facility will provide critical support, expand access to quality care, and help close longstanding gaps in Arizona\u2019s Second District.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://crane.house.gov/2025/11/24/rep-crane-applauds-ihs-partnership-to-help-bring-new-health-center-to-ak-chin-indian-community/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.2998338788747787, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
