Should local organizations prioritize facility expansion to reduce service waitlists in your community?
The Healing Lodge of the Seven Nations will host The Path to Wellness gala in Spokane on October 30, 2026. The event aims to raise funds for a campus expansion designed to increase treatment capacity for adolescents.
Why it matters
The project intends to separate boys and girls in dedicated living spaces while doubling the capacity for girls to reduce waitlists and improve outcomes. These improvements are requested by the tribes to better serve youth between the ages of 13 and 17.
The facility operates on a 55-acre campus and currently holds capacity for 15 girls. It is one of 13 such centers in the United States and serves as the only one of its kind in the Northwest.
