Fkenzel To some extent the rate of growth of our teaching, research, and service programs will, depend uj)ou our ability to attract affiliated health-related in stitutions to the Duke University Medical Center environment. Three such facilities are already located in close proximity to Duke: the state owned Cerebral Palsy Hosj)ital, the federally owned VA lIosi)ital, and the local community owned Child Guidance Clinic (featured in this issue of InterCom). Our afiftliation with each of them takes different form and accomplishes different functions but all three facilities contribute greatly to our programs. The Medical Center has many strengths to attract facilities to our area; but in competing nationally, regionally, or statewide it must recog nize the requirements of the sponsor ing agency or group and offer the resources and the affiliation relation ship that will meet these requirements as well as provide the program needs of the Medical Center. Our future plans include many spe(;ialized community health ])ro- grams and other special health facili ties. National and state interest is very high in the areas of mental il'- ness, rehabilitation, and chronic dis eases. Investment in facilities for care in these areas by agencies out side of Duke University would allow us to })roeeed more rapidly with facilities for teaching and acute care, utilizing funds available to the Duke University Medical Center. Further cooperation with existing health facilities would also serve to increase our capacity for research, teaching, or service. A thaidt-you to our staff" and the students from the school of nursing who cooperated so well to keep the hospital staffed during the big snow of January 16.
