Page 2-C Bill Proposes Financial Aid To Physicians RALEIGH A bill which would provide incentive for groups of two or more physicians to locate prac tices in rural North Carolina counties was introduced by 19th House District Rep. Ron Taylor on Tuesday of last week. The tall, set up on a two year trial basis, provides financial assistance to groups of two or more physicians who want to locate in counties which have towns no larger than 7,000 population. Taylor said the tall was aimed at recruiting more primary care physician practices in rural North Carolina counties. Guidelines for the trial program will be set up by the Department of Human Resources, Division of Rural Health Services, according to the bill. "There is a large con centration of physicians in the urban areas of our state,” Taylor said after introducing the bill, “and there are few physicians in the rural counties. This situation causes rural residents to lack proper medical care.” The bill, if passed, will appropriate $125,000 for each of the 1977-78 and 1978- 79 fiscal years to set up practices of two or more primary care physicians. “Physicians are just like most people, they want good working conditions, good school systems and en tertainment. We don’t want physicians who want to set up practice for two or three years and then leave, we want physicians who will take part in community activities and stay. We aren’t claiming rural life is for everyone, if they want to live in cities, we don’t want them, but we fed there are physicians who would like to set up practices in rural counties and they need help getting started. “This,bill lyiU l\dp them s« up practices and at the same time, hdp improve rural health care,” Taylor said. Financial assistance to physicians wanting to locate in rural counties, under the proposed bill, could be for: staff salary support; con struction loans; equipment grants; educational in centives; and guaranteed annual incomes. No guidelines have been set up to regulate which counties would receive the limited funds first. At the end of the two-year trial period, the program would be evaluated by the General Assembly based on a report of the program submitted by the Depart ment of Human Resources. The bill, if passed, would apply to 55 counties in the state. The counties are as follows: Cherokee; Clay; Graham; Jackson; Macon; Swain; Madison; Mc- Dowell; Polk; Alleghany; Ashe; Avery; Mitchell; Wilkes; Yancey; Alexan der; Caswell; Davie; Stokes; Yadkin; Anson; Montgomery; Chatham; Franklin; Warren; North ampton; Bladen; Hoke; Brunswick; Columbus; Pender; Duplin; Greene; Jones; Pamlico; Bertie; Camden; Chowan; Cufrituck; Dare; Gates; Hyde; Perquimans; Tyrrell; Washington; Haywood; Henderson; Transylvania; Lincoln; Moore; Johnston; Person; Carteret; Hertford; and Martin.
