A major milestone for our community!
Last Friday, we celebrated the groundbreaking of the expanded Eagle Seeker Clinic, located adjacent to the Eagle Seeker Community Center at 1125 Broadwater Ave.

This 35,000 sq ft, two-story health facility has been years in the making — and now we’re finally here, breaking ground!

The new clinic, developed by the Native American Development Corporation, will be home to Billings Urban Indian Health and Wellness Center and will allow us to expand our ability to provide comprehensive, culturally grounded care to the community.

What this means for our patients and families:

- Expanded primary care, mental and behavioral health, and optometry services
- Care that continues to honor Native culture and traditions — supporting mind, body, and spirit
- Greater access to equitable, community-centered healthcare for urban Native Americans in Billings

Construction is expected to take about 18 months, with completion projected for 2027.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their voices, and continues to support a healthier future for generations to come.

It’s that time again, Montana!

Open Enrollment for 2026 health insurance runs November 1 through January 15.
Enroll by December 15 for coverage starting January 1
Enroll by January 15 for coverage starting February 1

Health coverage and plan costs can change from year to year—so it’s important to take time now to review your plan, update your Healthcare.gov application, and make sure your coverage still works for you and your family.

Tribal members can enroll at any time of the year, but reviewing your plan is still a good idea to ensure it remains affordable. Descendants, associates, and other community members must enroll during Open Enrollment to stay covered.
