The Division of Indian Health reviewed the situation and found that improvements had been made in screening procedures to adhere to eligibility criteria, resulting in some individuals being denied services. Mrs. Davis was advised to contact the Oklahoma Indian Health Area Office or the Medical Officer in Charge at the Lawton hospital for specific questions about eligibility requirements. Senator Monroney also responded to Mrs. Davis's letter, indicating that he had asked for a report on the clinics and would provide an update once received."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/A.%20S.%20Mike%20Monroney%20Collection,%201938-1968/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0000-Interior,%20Interior%20and%20Insular%20Affairs,%20Indians,%20D-F,%201963/CAC_CC_038_8_32_19_0013.pdf "Correspondence Regarding Medical Services at Indian Public Health Clinics in Anadarko and Lawton")
![["The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has decided that non-Indian widows of deceased beneficiaries of the Indian health program who were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes should continue to receive medical services on the same basis as other beneficiaries. This decision is based on the long-standing dependency of the group on these services and the minimal impact on other Indian beneficiaries. The continuation of health services is limited to widows whose husbands were enrolled members of the Five Civilized Tribes and who have not remarried. The decision was made after a thorough study and additional information provided by Chief Belvin. The Oklahoma Area Office has been instructed to implement this policy immediately."]](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_36_0000-Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare-Public%20Health%20Service-Indian%20Health,%201964/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_47_36_0002_thumbnail.jpg "Continuation of Health Services for Non-Indian Widows of Deceased Five Civilized Tribes Members")
