REDDING, Calif. — Construction is underway on a major new health care and wellness campus for the Redding Rancheria, a project tribal leaders say will become the largest tribal health system west of Oklahoma.

The tribe hosted the first community tour on Monday, March 2, 2026, of its Tribal Health Village, being built across Clear Creek from the Win-River Resort & Casino in South Redding. The project is a $222 million, 195,000-square-foot development divided into two parts: a wellness center and a medical center.
“Right behind us is 100,000 square feet of wellness,” said Glen Hayward, the tribal health executive director. Hayward said the wellness portion will include “three floors of workout facilities, gym, a spa, saunas, indoor pools, outdoor resort-style pools, classrooms committed and dedicated to wellness and physical fitness.”
He said the medical side will bring together multiple approaches to care.
“That is going to be all your traditional medicine, Western medicine, Chinese medicine,” Hayward said. “Bringing both those together and incorporate that to make more of a proactive approach to medicine instead of reactive. Taking care of our patients ahead of time, preventing them from getting sick.”
Tracy Edwards, the Redding Rancheria CEO, said she is especially excited about the wellness center’s programming and amenities.
“And the fun part that I’m excited about is our wellness center, where we will incorporate all of the classes you can come to, Pilates, yoga,” Edwards said. “We have indoor/outdoor pools. We have a suspended indoor walking track, so that we know in Redding, you can’t always get outside the year around. So I think this goes in line with the tribe’s values, and what the tribe feels is important is wellness and the person as a whole person.”
Representatives from Mercy Medical Center, Shasta Regional Medical Center and Shasta County Public Health attended the tour. The Tribal Health Village is expected to serve primarily Native Americans and their families.
Hayward said the plan is to relocate current patients from the tribe’s downtown campus to the new site. “Initially, we’re going to move all of our tribal health patients down here from our downtown campus,” he said. “That encompasses all our Native Americans, anybody who’s a dependent of a Native American, who lives with a Native American, and all of our employees.”
Edwards said access to the facility will include tribal employees.
“If you’re wondering if you can come use this wonderful facility, I always like to say if you come work for the tribe, then you can use this facility,” she said.
The Tribal Health Village is scheduled to open in March 2027. The tribe also plans to hire another 16 primary care providers, which would add 16,000 more patients to its health system.
