- Description:
- The document is a letter from Rayna Green to Bryan Michener discussing the importance of the Senate Bill SE522/House Bill 7857 and the Indian Health Care Act. Green emphasizes the need for culturally sensitive Native professionals in the healthcare system and the importance of supporting an American Indian school of medicine. She believes that the development of Indian health care professionals is crucial for addressing the health needs of Native communities. Green also mentions the impact that culturally appropriate training can have on non-Indian health professionals. She expresses regret that a specific project was dropped from the bill but overall sees Titles 1 and 6 as essential contributions to improving Indian health care.
