![["The document discusses the lack of adequate healthcare access for Native Americans, particularly in remote areas where Indian Health Service (IHS) hospitals are the only option. Budgetary problems have led to limited services at these hospitals, with only pregnant women and emergency patients being admitted. The lack of transportation and inadequate facilities further exacerbate the issue, treating Native Americans as second class citizens. The document suggests various solutions, including replacing and funding IHS hospitals, modernizing facilities for clinic work, and ensuring access to immediate healthcare needs."]](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_0003_thumbnail.jpg "Addressing the Inadequacies of Healthcare Services for Native Americans")
