Short Abstract: In Section 512 (b) of Public Law (P.L.) 102-573, the 1992 amendments to the Indian Heath Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), the Congress instructed the Indian Health Service (IHS) to provide a report on “the findings and conclusions derived from the demonstration projects specified” earlier in that Section. This document reports the findings and conclusions derived from the Oklahoma City Area Urban Indian Health Demonstration Projects (Oklahoma Demonstration Projects). Both projects operate with IHS funding and represent integral components of the Oklahoma City Area healthcare service delivery system. The Oklahoma City Clinic serves 15,752 registered users; the Tulsa Clinic serves 17,021 registered users. Both clinics were established in the early 1970s and, later, were funded as urban programs under Title V of the IHCIA.
