When people hear of the IHS, they usually think of doctors, nurses, and hospitals. The maintenance
and construction of the hospitals and related facillities are the responsibility of the Office of
Environmental Health and Engineering Division of Facilities Engineering (DFE).
The Phoenix Area DFE manages over 1,000,000 square feet of housing and health care facilities and is
involved with the design and constructions of new IHS and tribal health care facilities. DFE personnel
provide technical consultation and resources to Phoenix Area Service Units
to ensure that health care facilities and related support facilities, i.e., quarters, warehouses, offices,
etc., are in a safe and functional condition to provide the health care support services needed.
DFE staff includes civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers, as well as specialists in medical
equipment, property management, and engineering support. The program has a $2.4 million annual budget to
provide routine maintenance and minor improvement projects at health care facilities. In addition, the
DFE staff is currently assisting the service units in the planning, designing, and construction management
of 29 major improvement and renovation projects with a total estimated cost in excess of $15 million.
