June-July, 1949 The Health Bulletin 7 Health Service which contemplates providing prenatal care, postpartum examinations and advice to mothers in prenatal and well baby clinics for all women who are expectant mothers or who have young babies who do not have the services of a private physician, the clinics to provide medical examinations on a monthly basis followed by the advice of the doctors and the nurses under the general management of the local health departments throughout the State, have been successfully carried on in 1948. During the year, 2273 M&I clinics were held in 64 counties and four cities. The patients were attended by 217 different physicians. Broken down into actual figures, the attendance of patients on these clinics were as follows: White Colored Indian Total Prenatal___ _ 785 7876 47 8708 Postpartum _ 459 3062 5 3526 Infants 2121 7280 12 9431 Preschool ._2868 4472 4 7344 In these clinics 54,613 booklets and pamphlets relating to care of mothers and children were distributed to the individual patients attending the clinics. In the mailing room of this Division in which literature for all of the State Board of Health is sent out, the following items relating to work of this de- partment were sent out: Health Education_________2,059,829 Prenatal Literature______________23,199 Infant Literature__________________90,790 Miscellaneous Supplies______44,421 Miscellaneous Midwife Supplies ________________________________6,344 Close cooperation is maintained throughout the State with the cooperating hospitals and specialists utilizing available aids from such institutions. For example, the Negro Medical Social Workers provided for work in Duke Hospital among Negro maternity cases is continued in that work with satisfactory results. Funds for the operation of all such work and the field work connected with the clinic are provided by allocation of money from the U. S. Childrens' Bureau. The Multilith Department is still effi- ciently meeting the peculiar demands in printing, along with the mimeograph department of the mailing room, in order to satisfactorily care for the work of the various divisions of the State Board of Health. Crippled Childrens' Department: The work of this department has been considerably expanded during the year. A larger number of children have availed themselves of the privilege of attending the clinics conducted by a qualified orthopedic surgeon. Clinic facilities on a monthly basis with qualified specialists in charge have been within reach of practically every family in the State, certainly within a maximum of fifty miles distance for most of them. The arrangements for clinics to which parents may bring their children and obtain a free examination with at least a tentative diagnosis and certainly with advice as to further procedures necessary have been established and increased in number gradually for the last thirteen years. The clinics are maintained on a cooperative basis with the Vocational Department of the State Department of Education and in cooperation with the State Orthopedic Hospital at Gastonia. Most of the clinics are conducted on a monthly basis. An exception of this is the Gastonia clinic which is on a weekly basis, and the clinic in Asheville is conducted twice a month and during the year it became necessary to establish a third clinic for service to discharged polio patients on account of the polio epidemic occurring in the State during the year. These clinics are open to children under twenty-one years of age. This applies to the limitations of the State Board of Health in this field. Under the term "tentative diagnosis", it is meant that an orthopedist in charge of a clinic may see a large number of crippled children and an occasional child is encountered in which a positive diagnosis cannot be established in the short time necessary to devote to each individual in the course of the day's clinic and also for lack of facilities such as X-ray and laboratory aids. Therefore, the department in such cases
