Builiding
In April 1993, the Health Center was destroyed by arson. The community and staff, showing dedication and commitment rallied to keep services available. Whatever could be salvaged was moved to the Family Social Center. Medical services were moved to our doctor's family practice in Royal Oak, then to Grace Hospital and eventually to our clinic on Vernor. Dental was moved to our dentist's private practice in Waterford. Counseling services were at various other local Native agencies where space was donated.
The majority of funding for AIHFS is provided from Indian Health Services, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. However, AIHFS still relies greatly on grants and private donations to provide the much needed services to the community many of whom fall below the poverty line.
