About UsMany American Indians and Alaska Natives live along the Wasatch Front, including tribes that are native to Utah such as the Ute, Paiute, Goshute, Shoshone and Navajo (Dine'). Some are young adults coming to attend college either at University of Utah or Salt Lake Community College. Some are families who moved to Salt Lake City to better their lives by taking a new job in the city. The Indian Walk-In Center serves as a gathering place where people can come to participate in familiar Native American community activities, such as Pow Wows, providing a comfort zone for those who are far away from home. Some of the people may need help with finding work, or need the basic staples of life to assist them until they get on their feet, and they can turn to the Indian Walk-In Center for assistance with food, health care, mental health care, and other needs. The IWIC provides services that identify critical health risks and educate our clients concerning preventive care, encouraging better overall health, well-being and enjoyment of life within the Native American community. Indian Walk-In CenterMain Office The Indian Walk-In Center is centrally located in Salt Lake City at 120 West 1300 South, near the 1300 South "Ballpark" TRAX Station, which is located directly west of the Center. The Franklin Covey Baseball Field is located across the street to the southeast, and major retailers such as Wal-Mart, Lowe's and Home Depot are located nearby on Third West. UTA TRAX and bus routes provide easy access to and from downtown, the University of Utah and communities as far south as Midvale and Sandy.
