They also urge for more funding for health care delivery in urban areas, as existing resources are not sufficient for low-income individuals. The document highlights the challenges faced by urban Indians and provides data on the Native American Center in Oklahoma City to illustrate the need for improved health care services for the urban Native American population."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0027.jpg "Letter to Senator Bartlett: Recommendations for Improving the Health and Welfare of Urban Indians")
