![["The Seminole Nation of Oklahoma is in need of a health care center as the closest medical facility is far away and inaccessible to many tribal members. There is a lack of space, staff, and equipment at the existing health center, leading to the need for referrals and inadequate care. The establishment of a new health center would benefit not only the Seminole Nation but also other tribes in the area. The tribal leaders have passed resolutions to address the need for a health clinic and plans are being made to construct one in the Mekusukey Mission Ground or the city of Wewoka."]](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_0078_thumbnail.jpg "Establishing a Health Care Center for the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma: A 1974 Proposal and Resolution")
