![["The document discusses the usage of health clinics in Osage County by Indian people. It notes that there are currently 2,269 people using the clinics, but with a new health clinic in Pawhuska, this number could potentially double to nearly 5,000. The document also estimates that with this increase, there could be a minimum of 16,900 visits per year to the Health Center, with potentially 65 visits daily. Additionally, it suggests that there will be substantial usage of a dental clinic with the estimated 9,570 Indians in Osage County."]](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_131_15_0000%20-%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Public%20Health%20Service%20-%20Oklahoma%20(Miscellaneous),%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_131_15_0018_thumbnail.jpg "Healthcare Needs and Potential in Osage County: A Case for a New Health Clinic in Pawhuska")
![["There are 5,584 students in Osage County schools, with 30.1% being Indian students. This means there are at least 1,680 Indian students in need of a dental clinic. Additionally, all adults and pre-school children will also need dental care. The Osage Tribe spent $24,000 on eyeglasses and dental care for all Indians, not just tribal members, in the past year. This information is being submitted for study along with maps and other materials."]](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_131_15_0000%20-%20Health,%20Education%20and%20Welfare%20-%20Public%20Health%20Service%20-%20Oklahoma%20(Miscellaneous),%201975/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_001_4_131_15_0019_thumbnail.jpg "Dental Care Needs for Indigenous Students in Osage County")
