![["The document includes correspondence between Dr. Jimmy Martin and various government officials regarding Indian Health. Dr. Martin suggested reimbursement for local health facilities for care rendered to Indian patients to avoid long distances to IHS facilities. The Indian Health Service responded, stating that limited resources only allow payment for emergency situations, but a new outpatient health center in Holdenville will improve access to health care for Indian people. The Speaker and Congressman Meeds expressed support for passing the Indian Health Improvement Act to address these issues."]](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_139_18_0000%20--%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20-%20Indian%20Health%20Service%20-%20Hospitals,%201976/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_139_18_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Indian Health Care: Correspondence with Dr. Jimmy Martin and Government Officials")
