PRESIDENT'S NEWSLETTER NORTH CAROLINA MEDICAL SOCIETY ; NO. 7 DECEMBER 1980 Greetings: Invoices for the 1981 North Carolina Medical Society dues have been mailed. Three enclosed items are of particular importance. Your invoice list MEDPAC dues of ^ $70.00. A MEDPAC enclosure gives some of the reasons for you to join and pay this amount to support MEDPAC. A "KEY-MAN" blank, to establish the legislative contact I list, is enclosed with this newsletter. Please fill this out and return promptly. i An additional enclosure with your dues invoice was for you to list the continuing medical education completed. The 1978-80 cycle affects 3,493 members of the Society. 2,061 have filed their completed forms» 555 members have filed a partial listing. 877 members for this cylce have not been heard from to-date! These latter two groups of 1,432 members must complete this filing by December 31st. This is in order to continue as members of the Society as directed by your House of Delegates. Please help me, the staff of the Society and save money for the Society, by completing your reporting form today! There is no prohibition to reporting CME on a yearly basis. I would encourage all of you to do this. In the next three to four issues of the Medical Society Journal, you will see changes implemented. Socio-economic and legislative issues will be dealt with in a more timely manner. A new cover listing the index will appear. Let the Editor, John Felts (Winston-Salem), or Charles Styron, Chairman of the Editorial Board (Raleigh), know of your ideas and reactions. The Jail Project, to improve jail health care sponsored by the North Carolina Medical Society under a grant from the AMA, is working with 10 jails in North Carolina. Only 2 of 100 jails in North Carolina have been given AMA accreditation; Mecklenburg and Buncombe County Jails. In addition to those 10 jails in the project. State Project Coordinator, Carleen Massey of the Society staff, provides health information to the county health departments and county jails. The Joint Conference Committee received a report on health care in the state penal system and the city/county jails in North Carolina. There are obvious health problems in many of these facilities. The significant early suicide rate in young white males incarcerated, often associated with alcohol use, is appalling and correctable. The lack of county funding, adequately trained staff, and physician availability and participation were cited as some of the problems. In some areas, excellent support is given by the local health departments to the jails. It seems to me there is a logical solution! Many of you are concerned with health departments practicing medicine and providing primary care lacking continuity. Health departments and sheriffs departments who are responsible for jails are both funded by and under the direction of your county commissioners. I would suggest the health department staff could and should provide improved health care in the jails if so directed by your county commissioners. New Hanover County has demonstrated it can work this way. With the support of private physicians in the community, it is occurring with the day to day health care being provided by the health department. In addition, the New Hanover County Medical Society has a liaison committee to advise the sheriff of that county. The present AMA-LEAA federal grant probably will not be funded beyond May of 1981. Your Executive Council will consider, in February, how the North Carolina Medical Society might continue to support this worthwhile project. It is hoped that three
