![["The document is from Mary Cook, a USPH Service nurse, who is requesting a new hospital for the Checkerboard Reservation in New Mexico. She explains that the current Indian Health Service hospital is too small and outdated, causing patients to have to travel long distances for care. Cook hopes that new legislation will help secure funding for a new hospital in the area. She expresses gratitude to Senator Bartlett for his work and sends well wishes for the Easter season."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0022_thumbnail.jpg "Letter Requesting a New Hospital in Crownpoint, New Mexico")
