![["Edmund Youngbird, a Sanitarian for the United States Public Health Service, graduated from an advanced course in environmental sanitation for Indian reservations. The course, held in Arizona and New Mexico, provided more advanced training in the field than previously available in the Indian health program. Youngbird completed the training and returned to North Carolina. The course focused on water supply problems faced by Indians, with many rural homes lacking safe water supplies. Sanitarians are Indian employees who assist in reducing disease rates attributable to unfavorable environments. Better sanitation has led to a reduction in deaths from gastroenteric diseases among Indians, although the death rate is still higher than the population as a whole."]](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_33_38_0000-Interior%20-%20Bureau%20of%20Indian%20Affairs%20-%20Health,%201959/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_33_38_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Indian Health Concerns: Correspondence Regarding Indian Hospitals")
