WASHINGTON — U.S. Senators Tom Udall (D-N.M) vice chairman of the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs,Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) sent a letter to Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Alex Azar calling on him to explain why HHS removed vital health care resources for Tribal communities from its Office of Minority Health and Administration for Native Americans (ANA) websites.
