Abstract:

I am committed to ensuring transparency and accountability at the Indian Health Service (IHS). To that end, I want to address a subject I've received many questions about: the perception that the IHS is returning a significant amount of unused money to the United States Treasury each year.

Let me say clearly: the IHS is not returning a significant amount of money to the Treasury. Furthermore, the IHS remains committed to continually improving Agency financial management to ensure that we are good stewards of Federal resources and funds are being used efficiently to carry out our mission, which is to raise the physical, mental, social, and spiritual health of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.
