![["The document addresses Senate Bill 2938 introduced by Senator Dewey F. Bartlett and provides recommendations and comments from the Oklahoma City Indian Health Board and the Oklahoma City Urban Indian Health Project. They support the scholarship program and recommend contracting it to Tribal groups for efficiency. They suggest that new hospitals be located in urban centers with all health care resources available to reduce costs. 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."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Dewey%20F.%20Bartlett%20Collection/Subject,%201946-1978-CAC_CC_003_2_0000_0000_0000/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0000-Indian%20Affairs,%20Health,%201973%20Feb.%20-%201978%20Sep.,%201973-1978/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0027_thumbnail.jpg "Letter to Senator Bartlett: Recommendations for Improving the Health and Welfare of Urban Indians")
