Search 42 U.S.C. § 2005 : US Code - Section 2005: Financial assistance by Surgeon General

Whenever the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service, in
carrying out his functions under subchapter I of this chapter with
respect to the provision of health services to Indians in any
particular area, determines, after consultation with such Indians,
that the provision of financial assistance to one or more public or
other nonprofit agencies or organizations for the construction of a
community hospital constitutes a method of making needed hospital
facilities available for such Indians which is more desirable and
effective than direct Federal construction, he may provide such
financial assistance from funds available for the construction of
Indian health facilities for such Indians.
