- Description:
- The Talihina Lions Club is concerned about the lack of operational funds for the Federal Talihina Hospital and Sanatorium, leading to the release of patients, dropping of employees, and only accepting emergency cases. They believe this creates a health menace for the Choctaw tribe and the community, especially considering the shortage of hospitals in southeastern Oklahoma. They are urging Congressman Carl Albert to help acquire funds to keep the hospital running efficiently.
