Conferring with Urban Indian Healthcare Programs

Posted on the IHS Director's Blog on August 6, 2012

The recent Indian Health Care Improvement Act reauthorization included a provision that requires IHS to confer with urban Indian organizations. The new draft policy is posted in the Federal Register for comment, and was sent to Tribes for consultation. Here is a copy of the letter [PDF - 27K] to Tribes and a link to the Federal Register  posting.
