North Carolina children have been s
registered for examination, clinical
treatment and hospitalisation, when 4
,v njcessary by the Crippled Children's
Division of the State Board of Health <
since April, 19S6, when die Division
: was established. v
The total amount expended in this
far-reaching reclamation program
during the fiscal year ending June
30, 1938, was $216,000. This includ
ed $114,000 State funds; $96,000
from the Social Security Board,
through the Children's Bureau at
Washington, and $6,000 contributed
by civic and patriotic organisations
in North Carolina which are sponsor
ing clinics held in all parts of the
. State.
Prior to 1917, there was no state -
? wide organized activity for crippled
- children in North Carolina. The
General Assembly of that year,
which saw thousands of adults leave
. for the war fronts of Europe, made
; legal provision for the first State
> operated orthopedic hospital in the
^ South?and in 1921 such a hospital
' was opened at Gastonia. Its ser
- vices were limited to white children
under sixteen years of age and there
J were only sixty beds. , ,|
Today, under woat is Known as
"The North Carolina Plan of Services
for Crippled Children," administered
by the State Board of Health,
through the Division of Preventive
Medicine, of which Dr. G. M. Cooper,
Assistant State Health Officer, is
the director, clinics are operated in
eighteen cities an dtowns, from the
mountai-s to the sea. The age lim
* it is no longer 16, bq? 21, and a
third of those given treatment art"
negroes. Hospitalization is afford
>;? ed and all cases are followed
through. The services of ten of the
State's best trained orthopedic sur
t? geons are employed ,and the general
... supervisor is James T. Barnes, whose
headquarters are in the State Board
v of Health Building, in Raleigh. Dr.
* M. Cooper is the medical director.
"With the passage of the Social
Security Act, in 1936," Mr. Barnes
, explained, "the State Board of Health
^ selected a committee, representatives
of health and welfare agencies,
medical society members, nurses and
lay organizations interested in crip
pledd children. Assigned to this
committee was the task studying and
preparing a plan of services to crip
. ?. pies.
After making an intensive survey
of existing services and considering
bow these could best be utilised and
the same time, conform to the re
quirements of the Social -Security
Act, the committee drsfte<$a pro
posal which was presented to a&i
approved by the ChHdren's Bureau.
'"The new plan, approved in March,
1936, contained the following essen
tial provisions: (1) Recognition of
the North Carolina State Board of
Health as the fisoper* agency to co
ordinate the work of the several
agencies in the ^ State for solving the
problems of the crippled child; (2)
the. creation of an advisory group,
representative of the primary inter
est in the crippled - child, naaaeiy,
medical groups, medical schools,
health and welfare agencies, educa
tional groups and lay dvic organi
zations. The organisation thus
formed is known as the North Caro
lina Crippled Children's Commission
and meets semi-annually, at the call
of the State Board of Health, tot
advisory counseling.
"The mam oDjecuves ox me crip
pled Children's Division of the State
Board of Health, under which the
orthopedic program is administered,
are: To locate crippled children and
cause than to be registered; to pro
vide diagnoses and ^treatment,,
through clinics; to provioh hospital
care at the State Orthopedic Hos
pital in Gastonia, and at selected
general hospitals located at conven
ient points throughout the State; to
follow up cases by visiting and su
pervising crippled children in their
homes, through a field service of per
sonnel, trained especially in the care
and treatment of individuals affected
by crippling conditions, or conditions
which might lead to crippleness, and
to collect data and publish informa
tion engendering public in treat in the
solution of the problems involved."
The orthopedic sqrgeons whose ser
vices are employed are all men who
have qualified under the National
Board of that specialty and who,
prior to becoming associated with
this vork, had practiced their pro
fession exclusively in North Caro
lina for at lea& one year.
The general hospitals selected pro
vide an average of 100 beds, in addi
tion to the 160 at the State Ortho
pedic Hospital in Gastonia, for the
care of operative cases, to the num
ber of 1,000 a year.
During the two years the North
Carolina Plan has been in operation,
