The purpose of the questionnaire is to gather information on what current health care coverage and benefits members and their households have. The information is im portant in order to identify unmet health care needs and to develop programs and benefits to meet these needs. The health planning we are conduct ing is part of the strategic planning pro- I cess adopted and begun in 1994. In re gards to health care, members expressed support for having at its center, "healthy families". In addition, members wanted to ensure that all members equally re ceived benefits, regardless of residence. With these goals in mind, tribal staff and the Tribal Council are working to iden tify the most cost effective and efficient manner for members to access health care. The information we collect from the ques tionnaires will help us greatly with plan ning. Only one questionnaire needs to be completed per household, but copies were sent to each member to insure that no one is left out of the survey process. It will include a postage paid envelope to return it in. Please return by May 1 5, 1995. We appreciate your time and effort in completing the form. If you have any questions please feel free to call Margo Mercier, EnrollmentVital Statistics at (503) 879-2253 or 1-800-422-0232.
