![["The document is addressed to Dr. Ray H. Vanderhook, the Area Director, expressing concern over the layoffs at the Talihina Indian hospital. The writer is receiving complaints that Indian employees are being discriminated against and laid off while there are no cuts in overhead personnel. The writer references a letter from Davis Folsom, a Choctaw Indian employee who has been at the hospital for 12 years and is now being laid off despite his plans to retire in 1960. The writer requests a full report and more consideration for the affected employees."]](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_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Concerns Regarding Layoffs at Talihina Indian Hospital")

![["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")
![["Hal Curran, executive officer of the Indian Health Service, has reviewed the situation at the Talihina hospital and believes adjustments need to be made to the staff. He has identified several positions that can be eliminated without impacting hospital services, including cooks helpers, guards-firemen, a janitor, a mail clerk, a property officer, and nursing assistants. The hospital is transitioning some nursing assistants to practical nurses and eliminating nine positions. The hospital has a patient load of 125 to 130 but had a payroll that cannot be justified."]](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_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Necessary Adjustments: Evaluating Staffing Changes at Talihina Hospital")
