Tribal
Business Council Disapproves
the Indian Health Service Medication Policy.
The Tribal Business Council took official action
to oppose the new Policy Statement issued by the
Indian Health Service. This is in regards to the
requirements to be followed in order to receive
medication. Which was issued from the local Minni-Tohe/Health
Center by Karol Parker, Service Unit Director.
Mrs. Parker addressed the TBC and informed us
that the policy was to be implemented due to the
shortage of funds and the liability issue of giving
medication without I.H.S. doctors examining patients.
The Tribal Business Council felt that there should
be a less restrictive policy and will lobby in
the Aberdeen Area and the Washington D.C. offices
for more funding. In addition the Tribal Business
Council passed Resolution #01-34-MWJR in a
6-1 vote to officially object to the new policy.

the board. The remaining Twin Buttes Community
seat formerly held by Pete Fredericks, is currently
