The letter addresses concerns about indigent non-Indian populations near the Talihina Indian Hospital not being able to access health services. The Indian Health program does not have the authority to provide non-Indians with care beyond medical emergencies. Suggestions are made to involve the State Department of Public Welfare, State Health Department, and local county medical society. The issue is highlighted through correspondence between different parties, with a focus on finding solutions to improve access to healthcare for indigent populations in the area.
