Rabies Clinic at Mesquakie Settlement

Last summer while finishing some work for a degree at the University of Iowa, I met a sophomore medical student named Ron Terrill. In talking with him I found that he was spending his summer on the Mesquakie Indian Settlement at Tama, Iowa, working to improve the community health on the settlement. His position at the settlement was provided for through the Indian health Service, who had entered into a contract with the University of Iowa to subsidize a medical student for the summer months.
