Ute Mountain Ute Tribe dedicates WIC building

The Ute Mountain Ute Tribe of Colorado dedicated the Laura Brown Women, Infants and Children Program Building on Tuesday.

The building is named in honor of Laura Brown, a popular former director of the WIC program. She died in 2002 of a brain aneurysm at 48.

A grant from the Department of Agriculture paid for the center. It will be part of a "health quadrant," where the tribe plans to build a health center.
