Short Abstract:
The 34 urban Indian health organizations are established, trusted, and well-known institutions, offering professionals who are uniquely trained to provide primary care and outreach services in a culturally-knowledgeable manner to 150,000 underserved urban Indians annually. Of the 4.1 million American Indians and Alaska Natives in the U.S., 2.5 million live in urban areas. Urban Indian health organizations have provided quality health care services in a culturally sensitive manner for over 30 years, and we are concerned that urban Indians living off-reservation may be deprived of appropriate care if the program is eliminated.
