Similar to family practice
Established last year through an
educational team training grant from the
Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, Southern Health Care is a joint
venture of residents of southern Durham
County and Duke's medical center,
DiCarlo explained.
It is similar to a family medical practice,
she said, and it is directed by a board
composed of local citizens who determine
policies for the non-profit corporation.
The Southern Health Care staff
includes a family physician, a counseling
psychologist, a family nurse practitioner,
a licensed practical nurse, a community
facilit_ator, a receptionist and an
administrator.
Medical, nursing, health administra
tion and physician's associate students at
Duke can spend elective periods at the
center as part of their training.
