The local Yorkin health clinic, located about 20 meters inland and 5 meters elevation from the river, was left severely damaged after the flood. The water reached a height of 7 meters, damaging the foundation and walls of the concrete structure, and filling it with sediment and debris. For the health and welfare of the entire community, the need for a new clinic was pressing. Thanks to significant contributions from donors in Colorado, funds were set aside for the purchase of land, materials, and the contracting of a foreman for this important job.
