U.S. Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Make it Easier for the Indian Health Service to Recruit and Retain Doctors : vimarsana.com

Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) and Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) have introduced bipartisan legislation to bolster chronic staffing issues at the Indian Health Services (IHS). The legislation, called the IHS Workforce Parity Act of 2023, amends the Indian Health Care Improvement Act to allow Indian Health Service scholarship and loan recipients to fulfill service obligations through half-time clinical practice, and for other purposes. The IHS provides healthcare to more than 2 million American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal members.
