Yurika Village Community Clinic

Building permanent care for 84 villages.

A healthcare hub that makes care closer, steadier and ready for what comes next.

Why it matters

From a single room to a stronger healthcare home.

The temporary free clinic in Yurika is serving 84 surrounding villages today. A permanent facility is under construction to expand maternal care, observation space and mental health support.

What permanent care makes possible

Care built for the community, with the community.

  • More room for exam, triage and observation care.
  • Indoor waiting space that matters during the rainy season.
  • A maternal and child care unit for pre- and post-natal care.
  • Integrated support for mental health needs.
  • Local community leadership in clinic operations and outreach.
