![["The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma proposed the construction of a health clinic in Wewoka to serve the Indian people in the area. The lack of medical facilities in the Seminole Nation, language barriers, and transportation issues were identified as major problems. The hypothesis was that increasing health education would lead to more patients seeking care, putting a strain on existing facilities. Establishing a clinic in Wewoka was seen as a step towards addressing the health needs of the Seminole Tribe."]](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_131_17_0000%20-%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Public%20Health%20Service%20-%20Seminole,%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_131_17_0079_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Access to Healthcare: Seminole Nation Health Clinic Proposal 1974")
