![["The document is a series of letters between Honorable Carl Albert, M.C., Chief Harry J. W. Belvin of the Choctaw Nation, and officials from the Public Health Service regarding the provision of health services to non-Indian widows of deceased Indian beneficiaries. Albert is advocating for the continuation of this policy and is working with Dr. Wagner and Mr. Gerard to address the issue. The documents show a collaborative effort to ensure the continuation of health services for these widows."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Health Services for Non-Indian Widows of Deceased Indian Beneficiaries")
![["The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has decided that non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian health program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes should continue to receive medical services on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This decision is based on the long-standing dependency of the group on these services and the minimal impact on other Indian beneficiaries. The continuation of health services is limited to widows whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried. The decision was made after a thorough study and additional information provided by Chief Belvin. The Oklahoma Area Office has been instructed to implement this policy immediately."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Continuation of Health Services for Non-Indian Widows of Deceased Five Civilized Tribes Members")
![["Non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian Health Program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes can now receive medical services through the program on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This change in policy was announced by Congressman Carl Albert after he urged the Public Health Service to allow these widows to access hospital and medical care. The continuation of health services for non-Indian widows will be limited to those whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Carl%20Albert%20Collection,%201947-1977/Departmental,%201945-1976%20(CAC_CC_001_4_0000_0000)/CAC_CC_001_4_47_55_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health%20Care,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_55_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Expansion of Medical Services for Non-Indian Widows of Five Civilized Tribes Members")
