In Retrospect A Brief Look at Progress In Public Health in the Past Calendar Year The progress in health services provided during the past year has been heartening. Significant advances have been made in the major on-going programs sponsord by the N. C. State Board of Health in cooperation with the 61 local health departments which bring these services to every county. In the first six months a total of nearly 14,000 children and others were beneficiaries of the Crippled Children's program. This program provides services in the following areas: flat foot; club foot and/or metatarsus varus; tibial torsion; rheumatic fever; congenital heart; cerebral palsy; polio, congenital bone and joint and cleft lip and/or palate, and others. An estimated total of 665,000 laboratory specimens from physicians, health I centers and State institutions have been analyzed this year by the Laboratory of the State Board of Health—an 11% increase in such requests over the previous year. A most significant development in 1965 has been the implementation of the plan for neurological and sensory disease clinics. Two clinics are now in operation at Fayetteville and Greenville. During the year, 13 nursing homes were licensed, making a total of 80. There are currently 10 homes under construction and 9 homes approved for construction. The licensed homes represent 3,481 nursing beds, and 1,480 resident beds, 723 beds are under construction and 522 beds are approved for construction. During the past year an efficient progressive approach to metabolic screening has been developed and is being applied to newborn population. There has been marked progress in implementing the new contraceptive techniques and there are now 90+ counties active in the field. This is the greatest year in the history of the Film Library. A total of 240 new films were purchased and 41,500 films were distributed to borrowers. These January, 1966 THE HEALTH BULLETIN 1 1
