HEALTH CENTERS
To Be FOSTERED BY
THE RED CROSS
New Plan Of American Red Cross to
Foster Health Centers Through
out Country Is Announced.

In connection with national sofety"
Lake Division headquarters of the
American Red Cross in Cleveland
CO., announces q new plan of the Red
Cross to foster the establishment of
Health Centers throughout the coun-
try as part Of its peace-time pro-
gram of service to Americans.
The first step in the Red Cross
health program was the extension of
the public health nursing service. The
second step Is to be the mobilization
of Red Cross interest and influence for
the establishment of health centers in
every community where conditions
make this desirable and possible.
A Health Center is to be the head
quarters for the public health work Of
community. Its purpose is to edu-
cate the people In matters Of health
and prevention of disease. 1t is a
place where they can be taught how
to keep we'll rather than place where
they may go to be cured
That far more vigorous campaign
in this country to promote physical
welfare was made clear by the selec-
| tive service examination in which one
| third of all candidates were rejected
for active service because of physi-
cal disability.
Agencies cooperating in a Health
Center will vary according to COM
munity needs and organizations. A
complete health center will have in it
a public health dispensary and clinic
for the prevention of disease and dis
semination of health information. Of
fees of the city health work will be
located there as we'll as offices of al
lied agencies such as home service
and childrens' aid 1t will be the dis
aster relief headquarters and the CEN
ter of the war on tuberculosis. In
struction will be given at the health
center in child welfare subjects, in So
cial and mental hygiene and proven.
ton of accidents, home nursing and
dietetics. Dental clinics and the out
patient department of the local hos
pitfalls may be included in the health
center.
The Red Cross has no thought of at
tempting either to encroach upon thu
field of national, state or local healtl
authorities, or to supersede any of thu
accredited agencies carrying on spe
cial health work The Red Cross will
promote the health center as focu
to bring together all community agen
cies dealing with the health of tn
people.
The fostering of Health Centers i
to be looked upon not only as permit
ted Red Cross activity but as highl
desirable means of expressing Re
Cross spirit in an enduring form.
Health work is an important feature
