“I thank the Senator. My State has several Indian tribes as well, and I am aware of the challenges that they face. I assure the minority leader that the committee is aware of the Indian health needs in Nevada and expects that IHS will, No. 1, continue to meet and discuss with the 22 tribes in Nevada, as well as the Intertribal Health Board of Nevada and the Intertribal Health Board of Nevada, in an effort to find ways to improve the delivery and quality of health services to Native Americans in Nevada, and, No. 2, will report back to the committee in writing, with recommendations, on how to improve secondary and tertiary care in Nevada.”
