![["Three Oklahoma Indian hospitals operated by the United States Public Health Service are facing drastic shortages of medicine and medical supplies due to funding shortages. Inspections revealed that hospitals in Claremore, Pawnee, and Tahlequah are struggling to provide adequate medical treatment to their patients. The blame is placed on the federal government for failing to appropriate adequate funds for Indian health care. The hospitals are operating on a month-to-month basis and are in need of major expenditures for facility replacements and renovations. Steps are being taken by Congress to address the immediate drug and equipment crisis and to determine funding needs for future years. The Indian Health Service staff are commended for their work under difficult conditions."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/John%20N.%20Happy%20Camp%20Collection/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0000-Committee%20on%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs%20General%20Correspondence,%201969-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_009_2_67_20_0016_thumbnail.jpg "\"Report Highlights Severe Shortages in Oklahoma Indian Hospitals, Calls for Urgent Congressional Action\"")

![["The document consists of a series of letters regarding non-payment for medical services rendered to Indian patients referred by the Pawnee Indian Health Service Hospital. Dr. Tim K. Smalley and Dr. Sam L. Earnest have requested assistance from Senator Dewey F. Bartlett in getting payment for services provided. The issue was due to lack of communication between the Indian Health Service and consultants like Dr. Smalley.
