"Better ..Health Pro gram' the cornerstone of which is the Medical Center of the Uni versity here now under construc tion.) By Vardy Buckalew Early in 1944, a committee' of distinguished physicians, includ ing the president and three past presidents of the North Carolina Medical Society, met in the office of. Governor J. M. Broughton. The general health conditions of the people of the State ,were in seri ous need of improvement and these men were very much conT cerned. Here are some of the conditions that they reported: North Caro lina stood 42nd in the number of general hospitals beds per tnousand population and in a com parable position in the number of doctors. There had always been a shortage of trained medical per sonnel in the state. There were 33 counties in North Carolina ! without a hospital, bed. In 1943, 50 per cent of North Carolina's young men were considered phy sically unfit for military service These eminent physicians recom- mended a program to the gover nor to remedy these situations,, This meeting launched a "Heal thier North Carolina" program which includes a total of 104 proj ects involving a budget of about $50,000,000. The cornerstone of this state-wide project is the gigantic Health Center now under con struction in Chapel Hill as a part of the University. This medical plant and organization will form the" Division of Health Affairs and will operate as a distinct admin istrative and fiscal entity within the University. Dr. Henry T. Clark, a UNC graduate in 1937, is the director of the Division of Health Affairs. The "Healthier North Carolina" program got under way when Broughton presented the plea of tne Medical Society physicians to the Board of Trustees. The Gov ernor pointed out. "It would seem wise ... to make provision for adequate medical care and 'serv ice to those of our citizenship who by reason of unemployment or low income are unable to provide this service for themselves." The Trustees unanimously approved this service for themselves." The Trustees unanimously approved this recommendation and a 50 man Hospital and Medical Care Commission, directed by Clarence Poe, was appointed by Broughton to make a survey of the needs of the people and to make recom mendations for improving the fifinrJ if inn TU:, . . vxx. iuu, commission was popularly called the Poe Commis sion. ihe seven subrmr;tte after studies of thp the state medical situation, adopt- guai as a remedy "More Doctors.
