The Regional Medical Program Archival materials span the entire history of the RMP beginning with the Report of the President's Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke , through the active period of program implementation, and to its termination in 1976. In addition, materials from a conference held at the National Library of Medicine in December 1991 are included. These materials have been scanned and OCR'ed and can be viewed by searching the RMP archives database. The archival database currently contains some 1,500 indexed and scanned documents, representing approximately 40,000 pages.
Supplemental materials are also available.
In preparation for the 1991 conference, interviews were conducted with key RMP figures, and a bibliography of the RMP was prepared. The 1991 RMP conference session transcripts can also be browsed. Copies of the videotaped interviews may be borrowed through interlibrary loan. See the RMP fact sheet for further information. Stephen Strickland's monograph, History of Regional Medical Programs , has been further annotated with comments by Arthur Rikli, M.D., former coordinator of the Missouri Regional Medical Program.
