![["The Talihina Indian Hospital in LeFlore County, Oklahoma, has been affected by budget cuts resulting in the loss of 23 employee positions. The cuts are part of a nationwide problem in Indian health services due to increased retirement deductions for civil service workers. The Choctaw Indians, who rely on the hospital as a major employer, are protesting the layoffs. Despite rumors of more layoffs, officials confirm that no further reductions are planned. Congressman Page Belcher has the best economy record among Oklahoma's House members, supporting 74% of economy moves. Congress, overall, has rejected more than half of its chances to save taxpayer money in 1957."]](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_27_26b_0000%20--%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Public%20Health%20Service%20-%20Talihina%20Indian%20Hospital,%201957/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_27_26b_0011_thumbnail.jpg "Cuts and Protests: Indian Health Service in Oklahoma")
![["Edmund Youngbird, a Sanitarian for the United States Public Health Service, graduated from an advanced course in environmental sanitation for Indian reservations. The course, held in Arizona and New Mexico, provided more advanced training in the field than previously available in the Indian health program. Youngbird completed the training and returned to North Carolina. The course focused on water supply problems faced by Indians, with many rural homes lacking safe water supplies. Sanitarians are Indian employees who assist in reducing disease rates attributable to unfavorable environments. Better sanitation has led to a reduction in deaths from gastroenteric diseases among Indians, although the death rate is still higher than the population as a whole."]](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_33_38_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health,%201959/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_33_38_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Health Concerns: Correspondence Regarding Indian Hospitals")
