Cherokee Nation says ARPA plus tribal fund will sustain new wellness centers
Summary
Speakers said the $30,000,000 Tahlequah Wellness Center combines American Rescue Plan Act funds with the Cherokee Nation's public health and wellness fund, and that the tribal fund is intended to help build and sustain additional centers across the reservation.
An agency official said the Tahlequah Wellness Center is financed partly by federal ARPA dollars and partly by a Cherokee Nation public health and wellness fund that tribal leaders plan to use to replicate and sustain similar facilities. "Part part of it came from the American Rescue Plan Act, but significantly part of it came from our own public health and wellness fund," the official said.
Speakers framed the tribal fund as the long-term mechanism for maintaining operations and financing future centers across the reservation. The transcript does not specify the exact breakdown of the $30,000,000 between ARPA and tribal funds or which tribal department will administer the fund; those details were not provided in the recorded remarks.
