Abstract:

The FY 2009 Budget requests $4.3 billion for the Indian Health Service (IHS). The request prioritizes the provision of health care services, maintaining them at the FY 2008 level. The total request for IHS includes a $21 million reduction in construction costs due to the completion of project stages funded in FY 2008. IHS provides health services for the growing population of eligible American Indians and Alaska Natives to reduce health disparities through preventive health services, primary care, and the expanded use of information technology in partnership with Tribes.
