Scope and Contents

The Indian Health Service (Indian Health Services) is responsible for providing comprehensive community health services to Native Americans. The Indian Health Services has seen a significant increase in the number of outpatient visits in recent years, due to advances in medical care and an increase in the complexity of services provided. However, the Indian Health Services has not been able to keep up with this increase in demand, due to a lack of staff and resources. The Indian Health Services is requesting additional funding for supplies, personnel, and sanitation facilities in order to improve the quality of care for Native Americans.
