Box 2172 Sacaton, Arizona 85147 Dear Ms. Pablo: Mountain Park Health Center appreciates this opportunity to request the support of the Gila River Indian Community with this application through the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. We are seeking $200,000 to assist with the construction and renovation of our new Gateway Clinic, planned for opening in June 2014. This new, larger clinic at 3838 E. Van Buren in Phoenix - nearly three times the size of our current East Phoenix clinic just across from Cofco Center - will help us better serve the community with more space for patients' clinic visits and a greater number of providers to serve them. Since 1980, Mountain Park Health Center has delivered comprehensive, culturally competent, quality primary health care services to the Phoenix metropolitan area's medically underserved communities and vulnerable populations. Our mission is to work with the communities we serve to sustain and improve health by providing affordable primary care. Through five strategically located "one-stop-shop" clinics across the Phoenix metropolitan area, we bring adult, pediatric and women's health services, dental and pharmaceutical care, as well as transportation and financial eligibility assistance to medically underserved communities. Last summer, we completed an innovative visioning process with Gateway residents and representatives of the academic, business, and human service organizations for the new clinic campus and services. We have taken this input and turned it into an actionable set of architecture and design plans, with construction expected to start in July 2013. When the community visits our Gateway clinic in 2014, they will know that we truly listened to them about what they wanted. However, we still need the support of the broader community through grants and charitable contributions to make this vision a reality. We believe that the Gila River Indian Community will find this project aligned with the priorities of its State Shared Revenue Program and look forward to hearing from you about a favourable decision regarding this proposal. CORPORATE OFFICE • 2702 North Third Street • Suite 4020 • Phoenix. Arizona 85004 (602) 323-3242 Fax (602) 323-3496 A. NARRATIVE I. Purpose of Grant Mountain Park Health Center (MPHC) is seeking support of $200,000 from the Gila River Indian Community State Shared Revenue program for the renovation and construction of its new Gateway clinic in East Phoenix. The current MPHC-East Phoenix clinic operates out of leased space in a medical building at 690 North Cofco Center Court, across from the Chinese Cultural Center. This space has been too small to offer all the services our patient community needs and wants since it opened. Renovating the existing structure and lot at 3838 E. Van Buren into a new, welcoming medical home is expected to cost nearly $13,000,000 by completion. The new clinic, Mountain Park Health Center - Gateway, will enable the health center to hire additional providers and triple the number of patient visits. In addition, the larger clinic campus at the new site will allow the health center to offer health education events and community activities at the site in partnership with other organizations. a. Project Description In early 2012, Mountain Park Health Center purchased 4.5 acres and two vacant buildings of 27,000 square feet each to be the new home of its Gateway Clinic. The Gateway Clinic site is less than one mile south of the current MPHC-East Phoenix Clinic site. Unlike the current clinic, the new Gateway Clinic will be highly visible from the street and convenient to public transportation, including the Phoenix Light Rail and several bus lines. The building immediately adjacent to Van Buren will house patient services. The Visioning Process: During the summer of 2012, the health center partnered with Arizona State University’s Institute of Global Sustainability to conduct an innovative visioning process with the community for the new clinic and grounds. The first step was to gather information from key MPHC health professional informants and blend it with local health and economic data to assess the current state of health in the community. Using this health assessment as background, community residents and local health and education professionals participated in workshops and neighborhood walking audits to envision the layout of the new Gateway clinic campus and the services it could offer. The last step of the visioning process brought all participants together to develop strategies to achieve and sustain the vision with the help of local partnerships. Clinic Campus Plan: The concrete result of the community visioning process is a clinic campus design and layout that offers better coordinated and expanded medical services as well as integrated financial screening and wellness services. These services will be augmented by partnerships with area health professions training programs, such as those at Gateway Community College across the street, as well as Arizona State University. The clinic campus Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 1 itself will be a wellness attribute with a tree-shaded community greenspace, benches, a walking path along the nearby Grand Canal, and eventually, a community garden. Community residents will be able to make full use of the campus with the improved public transportation links and pedestrian safety strategies foreseen in the City of Phoenix’s Transportation Oriented Development (TOD) Plan. A playground for the clinic’s youngest patients, as well as children from the nearby community, is being planned for the central corridor of the clinic campus in collaboration with a local school district. b. Priority Area The renovation and construction of the new MPHC Gateway Clinic directly supports the Gila River Indian Community’s priority of Health Care Services. The new clinic will dramatically increase the number of people that can receive quality, affordable health services. We also believe that the project will ultimately address the Gila River Indian Community’s priority area of economic development as more people are employed during construction and at the health center when it opens. A new, vibrant health center in the community is expected to eventually increase local businesses interest in the area. c. Needs Addressed By the Project Needs Addressed By The Project: MPHC’s Gateway Clinic construction renovation project addresses longstanding needs of both MPHC clinic staff and residents of the surrounding communities. The current East Phoenix clinic has a busy WIC program, a large prenatal and pediatric patient population, and one of the highest percentages of seniors seen among MPHC clinics. All of these groups now mingle in a too small general reception area and the wait to see a provider or WIC counselor can be noisy. Despite its location in the heart of the Phoenix urban area, the East clinic has a small medical staff due to limited exam room space - one Pediatrician, 2.5 Family Practitioners, one Obstetrician/Gynecologist, two Nurse Practitioners, a part-time dietitian and one behavioral health consultant/psychologist. There is little space for clinical support staff to operate. Until very recently, there was no space for a Financial Eligibility Specialist, and all patients were referred to a different clinic for assistance in applying for public insurance programs like Arizona’s Medicaid or MPHC’s medical discount program. There is one small conference room that seats 12 for patient education events and staff trainings. The most urgent health-related needs of the surrounding community identified during the health assessment portion of the community visioning process - obesity, hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease – need to be supported by individual and group education for self- management and support. These educational needs cannot be met within the current clinic space. In fact, many of the services prioritized by community residents for the new clinic are not available at the current clinic because of the lack of space. The highly desired services were Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 2 financial eligibility screening, pharmacy, dental care, health education and nutrition classes and patient navigators for a variety of health conditions and concerns. Community residents are eager to have a safe place in their neighborhood for recreation for themselves and their children, as there are few options available now. Residents’ safety concern extend beyond recreation to just walking through the neighborhood. The eastern edge of the Gateway area is mostly businesses and light industry and deserted at night. Residents find the western portion of the neighborhood dangerous, with many adult entertainment facilities, rundown motels and criminal activity. Motor vehicle traffic is constant. The new MPHC-Gateway clinic will be a safe oasis in the neighborhood. Target Population: Mountain Park Health Center’s East Phoenix geographic service area extends east from Seventh Street to 44th Street and the Loop 202, and south from Indian School Road to Van Buren Street. There are approximately 103,000 residents of the area, one third of whom are under age 19. Residents are ethnically, racially and culturally diverse. Nearly 60% of the service area population is Hispanic, with 59% White, 7% Black/African American , 4% American Indian, 2% Asian/Pacific Islander and 28% “Other” (Arizona Department of Health Services, 2013 Service Area Profiles). The area has long been one of initial refugee resettlement and successive waves of East African and recently Southeast Asian refugees have made roots in the community. Most have poverty in common – 62% of the service area population lives at or below 200% Federal Poverty Level. Fifty-two percent of children age 12 or younger live in poverty – twice the percentage of children in poverty in other parts of Maricopa County. Although there are several large hospitals with affiliated outpatient facilities in the Phoenix urban core, as well as private practices, few offer an affordable sliding fee scale discount program for the uninsured, and most are not prepared to assist patients to access public insurance programs. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)’s UDS Mapper, only about 10% of the low-income population of the area is served by community health centers, which are required to have a sliding fee scale discount schedule for uninsured persons. Patient Profile: While the current MPHC-East clinic is open to all who seek services, most clinic patients come from the core of the service area – zip code 85008. However, people travel from midtown and west Phoenix, as well as Tempe, to visit the clinic. The current East clinic serves over 5,700 patients. As a family-oriented primary care clinic, a substantial percentage (34%) of patients are children and adolescents. Over 51% of patients are White, 27% are Black/African American, just over 2% are Asian, 1% is Pacific Islander and 1% is American Indian. The high percentage of Black/African-American patients includes a large number of persons originally from East African countries who have settled in the area. Over half of patients are of Hispanic ethnicity. Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 3 Numbers Served: With a larger clinic, the health center will be able to accommodate more patients with the current medical staff, and over time, increase both the number of providers and the hours that they are available to see patients. The move to the new clinic site is expected to triple the number of clinic visits from 12,000 to 36,000 annually, and double the number of patients seen. The new Gateway Clinic will be invaluable in addressing the unmet health needs of the low-income population in the area. In addition, all residents of the area, MPHC patients or not, will be able to enjoy the greenspace surrounding the clinic. d. Project Goals and Objectives Goal: The goal of MPHC’s Gateway clinic project is to construct a medical home that can serve more residents of the area in partnership with the community. Upon completion, the clinic building will offer 32,000 square feet of usable space directed at enhancing the health of the Gateway community. Objectives: MPHC’s Gateway Clinic construction objectives are outlined below. 1. By October 2013, renovate the first basement floor of the existing structure closest to Van Buren to house the Financial Eligibility Department and the WIC program. 2. By February 2014, renovate the second and main floor of the structure to provide a welcoming clinic space with 21 exam rooms to provide medical and integrated health services. 3. By April 2014, frame and prepare the top and third floor of the building for the delivery of additional medical and integrated health services. 4. By May 2014, develop the adjacent clinic campus to include a playground for community use, shaded walking paths and covered parking space for patients and staff. 5. By May 2014, furnish, equip and stock the new Gateway Clinic. 6. Open the new Gateway Clinic in June 2014. e. New Project The renovation of the structure at 3838 E. Van Buren and relocation of the MPHC-East clinic is a new project. While all existing health and supportive services will be relocated when the clinic moves, we will be able to reach more people with quality, affordable health services and consistently offer integrated health services, such as behavioral health, nutrition education and patient navigation. Ultimately, new services will be offered such as healthy cooking demonstrations and community physical activity events. Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 4 f. Project Partners and Funders As part of the innovative community visioning process, over 40 community organizations, neighborhood associations, local school personnel, representatives from other healthcare systems, area residents as well as MPHC employees participated in prioritizing the services offered through the clinic and strategies for developing sustainable partnerships. Many have stayed on as members of the MPHC-East clinic site council, providing input into the current and future services offered through the clinic. Some organizations and associations have already begun partnering with Mountain Park to enhance health awareness in the community, such as the Arizona State University School of Sustainability. The Balsz and Wilson Elementary School Districts and will continue to partner with MPHC on the design of the playground. Others, such as the City of Phoenix Office of Planning, continue the partnership begun with Mountain Park through the Transit Oriented Development Plan for the area, under the umbrella of a workgroup led by St. Luke’s Health Initiatives, a local philanthropic foundation. MPHC has been appointed to the Gateway TOD Steering Committee as it works to realize the larger vision of neighborhood development along the light rail lines. Finally, other organizations, like Maricopa County Community College District’s Gateway Community College, will be more active partners as the clinic nears its grand opening in June 2014 by promoting services and technical training projects for students. The project will principally be funded through a new issue of bond financing. This financing will complete the essential structural elements of a functioning primary care clinic. However, $2,900,000 needs to be raised from fundraising, contributions and grants to fully complete the clinic expansion and the community-desired campus features. Bond financing will enable the health center to complete the initial core clinic construction as it attracts grants, donations and private gifts. The health center has been in conversations with several local philanthropic foundations about support for the project since 2013 started. The Mountain Park Health Center Foundation also holds several fundraising events throughout the year and some of the proceeds from these events will be used to support construction of the new Gateway clinic as well as the Foundation’s traditional patient assistance programs. The current funding strategy is included as Attachment 3. g. Other Tribal Applications or Awards Mountain Park Health Center has not approached or applied to any other Tribe for State Shared Revenue Program funding. Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 5 h. Project Timetable In early 2013, MPHC released a competitive bid for architectural design services for the new clinic. The architectural group SmithGroupJJR /Kellogg & Associates was awarded the contract in April. An RFP for a construction group will be released during May 2013 and a construction contract awarded in early June. The permitting process has already begun and site preparation for construction, including security set-up, will begin in June 2013. The planned renovation and construction timeline is below. 2013 1. Site Work: July 1 to August 15, 2013 This includes the construction of a site perimeter fence for security, and the assessment of any needed demolition, relocation or replacement of any utilities, electrical and plumbing components and lines. 2. Demolition: August 2013 Demolition work will include gutting the interior framing and cabinetry on all floors and excavating the basement level for reinforced concrete slabs and flooring. 3. Construction/Rebuilding: September 2013 to April 2014 This portion of the project includes the core rebuilding of the new clinic structure: running plumbing lines, installing the steel interior frame for the new structural layout, pouring the concrete flooring for the basement level. A new glass fronting will be placed on the building. Roofing Demolition and Repair: Mid October - Mid-November 2013 A new roof will be installed on the structure. Main Level – Drywall and Finishing: Mid-November to December 2013 The visible interior of the basement and main clinical level will be completed with drywall and flooring. Exterior and Grounds Renovation: Late November through December 2013 The exterior facing will be renovated and enhanced for energy efficiency and a contemporary look. Immediately afterwards, the existing parking lot will be demolished to begin the development of the campus surrounding the main clinic building. Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 6 2014 Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Suppression Systems Installed: Late December 2013 through January 2014 All needed wiring and cabling for the main clinic operating system, excluding the wireless information technology system, will be installed. The clinic will have energy efficient sensor lighting and maximize natural sunlight. An alarm system with motion detectors and closed circuit cameras will be installed for additional security. Painting, Finishes and Millwork: January to February 2014 The interior walls will be completed and cabinetry and countertops attached in the exam rooms and in clinical staff workstations. Doors, trim and decorative flooring will be installed, completing the usable area of the clinic. Preparation of Third Floor: January to April 2014 The third floor will be framed and utility ports added but the area will not be finished. 4. Final Building Inspection: Late March 2014 The final inspection of the building by City of Phoenix departments and the certificate of occupancy are expected to be completed by the end of March 2014. 5. Equipment and Furnishings: April to May 2014 New medical equipment, exam room equipment, pharmacy shelving and furniture for the entire clinic will be installed during the spring of 2014. Some medical equipment, like exam tables in good condition, will be relocated to the clinic. Usable staff furniture – desks, office chairs, shelving – will be also be relocated. 6. Development of the Immediate Clinic Campus: February – March 2014 New asphalt will be laid in the parking lot, and covered parking spaces will be constructed in part of the lot. A playground will be developed on the west side of the clinic building, near the main clinic entrance. The playground and lot will have several different varieties of play “stations” including accessible play equipment. 7. Clinic Grand Opening: June 2014 The clinic will be fully outfitted and the campus prepared for community use by mid- May 2014. The Arizona Department of Health Services survey to license the clinic as an ambulatory care Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic Construction Project 7 facility is expected to be completed by the end of May. However, the completion of the survey may be delayed by up to two weeks depending on the schedules of ADHS staff. i. Long-term Funding and Sustainability Mountain Park Health Center’s annual operating budget is approximately $34 million. The health center receives $6.7 million annually in federal funds from the Health Resources and Services Administration to provide integrated care to low-income patients. An additional $4 million is received from the State of Arizona for contracted services. The bulk of the health center’s revenue and operating budget is obtained by providing clinical care to patients through a small number of commercial insurers, Arizona’s Medicaid program, Medicare and the health center’s sliding fee scale/ medical discount program. Grants from federal, state and local philanthropic foundations make up the rest of revenue. Despite the recent economic downturn and Arizona Medicaid cuts, the health center remained strong through planned, conscientious management of its resources and investments. With a more spacious 21-exam room main clinical floor to house existing providers and clinical support staff, and an additional 21 exam rooms to accommodate 8 additional providers when the top floor is completed, the health center expects to double the number of patients served and triple patient visits at its clinic in the Gateway neighborhood. With upcoming changes under the Affordable Care Act, the number of publicly insured patients is expected to increase. This will enable MPHC to continue to leverage funds to provide care for all who seek care, regardless of insurance status or their ability to pay. The health center will remain financially solid with the new Gateway Clinic project by balancing growth with increased patient revenue. II. Reports Mountain Park Health Center staff are proficient in providing a variety of narrative, pictorial and financial reports. The health center will submit reports in any format desired by the Gila River Indian Community Office of Special Funding. At a minimum, the health center will complete a final report in September 2014. However, MPHC also would be happy to provide update reports with photographs at the groundbreaking ceremony, during construction and at the Gateway Clinic grand opening.

Third Street, Suite 4020 Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Dear Dr. Swagert: It is my pleasure to write this letter in support of your proposal to the Gila River Indian Community for the Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic construction project. The Balsz School District as part of the Balsz Promise Neighborhood support the health related development efforts of Mountain Park and we are excited to see this project’s continued momentum! The Balsz Elementary School District serves approximately 2,700 children in pre-kindergarten through 8th grade residing in the Phoenix urban core. The District is responsible for five elementary schools in the area: Balsz, Brunson-Lee, Orangedale, Griffith and Crockett. Crockett Elementary is adjacent to your new clinic site. Our student population is extremely diverse with most families struggling to provide their families with the basics, and must rely on the community for assistance to enrich their children’s early educational experiences. A majority of our families live below the Federal Poverty Level, 99% qualify for free or reduced cost lunches and half are learning English as their second language. To better support our families, the District has extended the school year to increase students’ academic success and potential. The health and wellness resources that will become available to the community such as health and nutrition education, the playground and the safe green space, are highly valued by our families and desperately needed. I look forward to hearing more about the outcome of the proposal and our continued work with Mountain Park Health Center to strengthen the Balsz Promise Neighborhood community. Cordially, Jeffrey J.

As the Gateway Clinic's neighbor, we look forward to numerous potential collaborations with you to improve the health of Phoenix residents. A part of the Maricopa County Community Colleges District, Gateway Community College is the largest provider of nursing and healthcare education in the state. Like Mountain Park, we are intent on improving the diversity and reach of the area's healthcare workforce. We look forward to developing partnerships and affiliations in the near future that will provide our students with clinical training options, and your patients with access to allied health services that they are currently unable to access. In addition, because your clinic will be just across Van Buren from our campus, it will be an invaluable healthcare resource for our students from across the Phoenix metropolitan area, I wish you all possible success with your proposal. Sincerely, A Maricopa Community College April 30, 2013 Dr. John Swagert Chief Executive Officer Mountain Park Health Center 2702 N. Third Street, Suite 4020 Phoenix, Arizona 85004 Dear Dr. Swagert: I am pleased to provide this letter in support of Mountain Park Health Center’s proposal to the Gila River Indian Community’s State Shared Revenue Program for support of construction of the new Mountain Park Health Center – Gateway Clinic. The Discovery Triangle is a multi-‐city urban redevelopment and investment initiative led by the Discovery Triangle Development Corporation (DTDC). The DTDC has brought together education, business and community stakeholders and leadership from a 25-‐mile square area of Phoenix and Tempe to create an economically and environmentally sustainable plan for the next quarter century. Our goal is a strategic plan that will stimulate high-‐value projects while promoting and marketing the assets that already exist in the region. The Mountain Park-‐ Gateway Clinic visioning process and planned clinic campus is an example of the type of project we are seeking to reinvigorate and inspire the Discovery Triangle. The clinic campus visioning process has examined and incorporated the assets of the community into the campus design plan. Moving forward, the health center is developing partnerships with organizations and businesses within the area that will improve the local economy, while simultaneously attracting patients and addressing critical health issues. This approach is entirely in-‐line with DTDC’s efforts on a broader scale. As always, we appreciate your efforts in revitalizing the Gateway community and look forward to hearing about the success of your proposal. Sincerely, Don Keuth CEO, Discovery Triangle Development Corporation 0.3 SE PLAN 115 SITE PLAPHii14 DEVGN KELLOGG:=133111151i111 liRIM I OFF 010.01E00E DROP CROSSING 471 PEG SOLAR SHADE STRUCTURE AT TYP PARKING SITE RENEE GATEWAY CROSSING PED IHTERRRI.
