![["Mr. Baker inquired about the future plans for the Indian Hospital at Talihina and Indian government schools, believing they may expire on June 30, 1960. Various officials, including the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Public Health Service, responded stating that there are no plans to close the hospital and schools. They also clarified that recent legislation regarding Choctaw Indians does not affect individual Choctaws, and there is uncertainty about future per capita payments. Officials offered assistance and further information if needed."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Title: Indian Affairs Correspondence: Challenges and Resolutions")

The writer argues that the high incidence of tuberculosis among the Indian population warrants the continued operation of these hospitals. The document requests information from Mr. Fleming on the government's plans regarding the hospitals and urges him to advocate for the Indian people in this matter. Mr. Fleming responds, stating that he has forwarded the letter to the Surgeon General for consideration and appreciates the writer's concern for the Indian health program."]](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_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Correspondence Regarding Indian Hospitals in Oklahoma")
![["Chief Solomon Homer inquired about the possibility of obtaining a medical doctor to treat Indians in Choctaw county, but Dr. McBrayer stated there may not be enough work to justify a full-time physician. Dr. McBrayer suggested exploring the possibility of obtaining the services of a contract doctor in Hugo for emergency cases. The Indian Health Area Office in Oklahoma City also proposed increasing health services at Antlers and extending them to residents of surrounding areas. The overall challenge is providing medical services in an economically depressed area with busy physicians."]](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_0004_thumbnail.jpg "Improving Healthcare Access for Indians in Choctaw County")
