I.H.S. Primary Care Provider, 1992-1994

Series 8 contains articles, newspaper clippings, newsletters, reports, essay books, monographs, bibliographies, printed matter, and manuscripts relating information on various health and social topics concerning Native Americans and Alaska Natives. Among the topics covered are the health of specific tribes, the economy's impact on health, federal-tribal relations, tuberculosis, dentistry, telemedicine, maternal and child care, and suicide. These files are largely reference material that Johnson collected on topics relevant to his work in support of American Indian health and medicine. The series is divided into five sub-series: Published by I.H.S., Published by DHHS, American Indian Policy Review Commission, Other Publishers, and Informational Manuscripts. The first two sub-series consist of federally published documents that were produced by the Indian Health Service and the Department of Health and Human Services both during and after Johnson's service. The third sub-series contains task force reports prepared by a commission assigned to survey the current status of Indian affairs and offer recommendations on legislative reforms. The fourth sub-series gathers together publications produced by various federal, tribal, and independent publishers. The fifth sub-series includes unpublished manuscripts that were not authored by I.H.S. personnel or funded by I.H.S. in any way. Each sub-series is arranged chronologically by date.
