Timing leaves physicians in short supply.
The staff organizing the 2001 Special Olympics World Winter Games Alaska is still searching for additional medical volunteers, particularly physicians. Anchorage Mayor George Wuerch speaks Saturday during dedication of the new day lodge at Hilltop Ski Area. Hilltop will serve as the host facility and media center for the snowboarding competition and ski jump exhibition for the Special Olympics. Dennis Brodigan, medical services manager for the Games, said scheduling the competition around spring break both helped and hurt volunteer recruitment of almost 500 nurses, paramedics, emergency medical technicians and doctors. The majority of medical volunteers are local, Brodigan said.
