IHS awards $90.5 million contract for replacement hospital in Alaska
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
The Indian Health Service awarded a $90.5 million construction contract for a replacement facility at 21-bed Norton Sound Regional Hospital, Nome, Alaska, using federal stimulus dollars. The contract went to Inuit-NCI JV, which is a partnership between Inuit Services and Neeser Construction of Anchorage.
The funds were provided through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The new 150,000-square-foot Norton Sound hospital, scheduled to be completed in 2012, replaces a 61-year-old facility serving about 10,000 patients annually. The hospital is owned by Norton Sound Health Corp., a tribal not-for-profit group representing the Bering Strait region. “These funds will help improve healthcare, create jobs and make our native communities stronger,” said IHS Director Yvette Roubideaux, in a news release.
