A Salt Lake City clinic with a mission to provide medical services to Native American people and other underserved Utahns got a boost from a federal grant.
"Sacred Circle" received federal money to aid pregnant, native women dealing with substance-abuse issues.
But with the grant money, leaders are hoping to greatly reduce rates of maternal and infant mortality within the Native American population. Lorena Horse helps run the organization as a licensed, clinical therapist and a member of the confederated tribes of the Goshute reservation. Monroy has high hopes for the grant money, which she says will better serve mothers and babies within Utah.
