"I am not Native American nor am I personally acquainted with anyone employed by [the Indian Health Board]. My daughter and I have been patients there for many years, beginning when I found myself divorced, among the uninsured working poor, and in need of sliding-scale health services. The care and concern shown by the staff at IHB was so extraordinary, the suburban clinics we once utilized paled by comparison.

Although we've long since acquired health insurance and can choose other providers, we continue our association with IHB because it is there where we feel cared for, not just "treated." Despite working in what appears to be a stressful environment, the staff at IHB seems to treat every patient with dignity and genuine concern. Although unaware of recently publicized conflicts, I have noticed a shift in the clinic's general atmosphere over the past few years. . ."
