The Fallon Paiute Shoshone Tribe and the Fallon Tribal Health Center have goals to improve and maintain the physical, social, emotional and spiritual wellness of it’s people. On June 1, construction began with CWX Architects, Simerson Construction and Womer & Associates Construction on the tribe’s new Toi-Ticutta Wellness Center located at 8955 Mission Road. Digging trenches for water and septic lines and cutting of concrete for the new facility has been done to begin its preparations for the new facility. In addition to the wellness center being built, the parking lot is being revamped and landscaping will be done to beautify the area. King Construction workers have ripped up its old parking lot preparing to build an entirely new and larger parking lot in its place. The Headstart playground was removed and will be relocated for the parking expansion. Sometimes to build sustainably you have to bulldoze something first. Diabetes Coordinator Sherry Taylor stated that project completion is projected to be October 1, 2018. The new wellness center will be larger than its current facility with more space.
The Fallon Tribes Health Fair & Grand Opening Event for it’s new wellness center is scheduled for Thursday, October 25 at 10:00 a.m. More information about this upcoming event will be announced at a later time, this will be a public event that you all won’t want to miss. This new facility is an exciting development project that will benefit the members of the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe for the health and well-being of our people and its community. Thanks to the facility’s large new parking lot, the event will be hosted right on-site to draw attention as well as celebrate it’s grand opening.
