The Indian Health Service Headquarters is in Rockville, MD and then divided into twelve (12) physical areas: Alaska, Albuquerque, Bemidji, Billings, California, Great Plains, Nashville, Navajo, Oklahoma, Phoenix, Portland, and Tucson. The Great Plains Area Office (GPAO) works in conjunction with nineteen (19) Indian Health Service Units and Tribal Managed Service Units to provide health care to approximately one hundred thirty thousand (130,000) Native Americans located in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa. QNBMHCF falls under the GPAO and provides medical care to approximately fourteen thousand, five hundred fifty (14,550) tribal members living on the Turtle Mountain Indian Reservation. The Service Unit was built in nineteen hundred sixty-seven (1967) with renovation and clinical expansion completed in nineteen hundred ninety-two (1992), to provide an expanded level of outpatient health care services specifically designed to meet the needs of our population. Services include: twenty-four (24) Hour Emergency Services, Laboratory, Radiology (CAT Scan & Mobile MRI) and 24-Hour Pharmacy Services, Optometry, Dental, Clinic, Emergency, Podiatry, Same Day Clinic, and Behavioral Health.

Digital Cameras The minimum specification for interfacing a digital camera with VistA Imaging is 4 megapixels. Sites are cautioned to purchase digital cameras which will satisfy the clinical purpose they are intended to be used for. The capabilities of modern digital cameras to capture images with very high resolutions may not be as important as the resolution of the hardware used to display the images.
