The San Ignacio Health Facility is owned by the Pascua Yaqui Tribe and operated by the San Ignacio Yaqui Council, a non-profit that works collaboratively with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe to aid and care for Pascua Yaqui tribal members in the surrounding distressed communities that are plagued by high poverty rates. Due to the limited space at the current center, the Pascua Yaqui Tribe was never able to offer social services, health care services, food distribution, or adequate senior care. Tribal members in this community commute to the reservation in Southwest Tucson, approximately 30 minutes away, for these services. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a critical need to provide these essential services to this community. Once complete the San Ignacio Center will offer an elder food program to tribal elders with limited income at the center or delivered to homes, behavioral health services, drug and alcohol prevention programs, children's programs (including language and cultural, foster programs, nutrition programs, social work, alternative / traditional medicine, workforce development training programs, and leadership training programs.
