Tulsa Indian Health Center is facing a potential 50% cut in federal funds for 1982 under President Reagan

The Tulsa Indian Health Center is facing a potential 50% cut in federal funds for 1982 under President Reagan's budget, which could leave over 5,000 Tulsa Indians without medical care. The center provides outpatient services, dental care, mental health programs, and a referral service. The center serves mainly mothers and children, with many patients unable to afford transportation to the Claremore Indian Hospital. Budget cuts could lead to reduced services and patient education programs. Despite the center's efforts to make federal funds stretch, the impact of the cuts would be significant and detrimental to the community.
