- Description:
- 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.
