- Description:
- The receptionist/bookkeeper/secretary is responsible for maintaining financial records, typing reports, and managing incoming mail and phone calls. The Oklahoma City Indian population fluctuates between seasons, with an estimated high of 28,000 and a low of 12,000. The population served primarily comes from the metro area and includes those with low incomes. The Native American Center Clinic provides outpatient care at no cost, with funding from the Donner Foundation for physician services. The Health Project plans to take over management of the clinic once financially capable. Urban Indians often rely on local health agencies for care, but may be referred to Lawton PHS Hospital due to prevalent attitudes and policies.
