SUBCHAPTER II--CONSTRUCTION OF HEALTH FACILITIES AND COMMUNITY HOSPITALS
 
Sec. 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.
