August 24, 2011
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians recently announced October 3, 2011, as
the opening date for the all new Community Health Clinic, located adjacent to
Red Hawk Casino at Red Hawk Parkway.
The new 60,000 square foot clinic, which includes two floors of parking,
replaces the existing 17,000 square foot facility located on Mother Lode Road in
Shingle Springs. Complete with three floors of medical, dental and
administrative offices, it will continue to provide all aspects of ambulatory
medical care with expanded services including family practice, pediatrics,
orthopedic, physical therapy, podiatry, chiropractic, dentistry, orthodontics
and mental health along with pain management via telemedicine. The current
clinic had 20,000 patient visits in 2010 and with the opening of the new
expanded facility that number is expected to increase by at least 20%.
The Community Health Clinic will be open Monday through Friday and offers
appointment and walk in services from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The original Community
Health Clinic has been in operation since 1995 and is available for everyone in
need of care. From home visits, to a diabetes program that includes an outreach
to closely monitor patients, the Community Health Clinic provides much needed
services to tribal members and residents of El Dorado County.
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians has long been a community partner in
El Dorado County. They are dedicated to providing the best medical and dental
options to all Native Americans and their families, county residents and
Medicaid and MediCal patients. In addition to Medicaid and MediCal, the Health
Clinic accepts the County Medical Services Program (CMSP), as well as all PPO
insurances. The Community Health Clinic also offers an outreach program to
assist patients with applying for MediCal and care for uninsured patients with
fees based on a sliding scale.
The Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians are committed to providing quality
patient care that is sensitive to individual, family, community and cultural
needs. As part of their commitment to the community and El Dorado County, the
Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians plan to open another medical facility in
Diamond Springs, as well as a dental clinic in South Lake Tahoe that is the
first of its kind offering dental services to the South Lake Tahoe Medicaid and
MediCal recipients. In the past, these patients from the Lake Tahoe region were
forced to drive to Shingle Springs for treatment, often delaying, or even not
completing much need treatments for themselves and their children. Beth Ann Bodi,
Executive Director of the Shingle Springs Tribal Health Clinic, says, "Our
vision for the Tribal Health Clinic is to provide comprehensive and
state-of-the-art medical and dental services to Tribal members and community
residents. These patients would otherwise delay or not seek treatment because of
cost or location. We're devoted to this community and are extremely pleased to
be able to contribute in this way."
