The Broad new health program
to be supported this year by the
March of Dimes is regarded by
most people as encompassing two
major activities: medical research
and aid to patients. Indeed, these
areas are the battle-ground for
hopeful new programs directed
against arthritis and congenital
malformations, as we'll as contin-
ued poliomyelitis research and pat
lent aid.
But neither research nor med
ical care would be possible on the
scale contemplated, were it not
for the third major program of
the National Foundation: educa-
ton for the health professions. For
the truth is that in all phases of
medical and health work this
country is handicapped by a short
age of fully qualified personnel
which makes the recruitment of
new health workers a vital necs-
Sity at this time.
Our local hospitals, health elm
les, laboratories and school health
units are in urgent need of adj
ditional trained minds and hands,
and there is every indication this
need is growing as new avenues of
service to u citizens open up.
Yet the doctors, professional nurs-
es, physical and occupational Their
apists, medical social workers and
research scientists we need can
not be obtained for some time to
come. They do not exist in large
enough numbers in the country as
a wholel
