Indian Health Service Advocates for New Hospital to Replace Outdated Claremore Facility1973-01-01Bartlett, Dewey F.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_003_2_32_9_0054The Indian Health Service is seeking to replace its hospital in Claremore with a larger structure due to the high number of patients it serves and the low income and education levels of the population. The new hospital is expected to open in late 1976 and would provide more space and better facilities for patients. The current hospital has lost its accreditation due to physical deficiencies.
