All of the areas nheeded broad political support, so the consortium came about. Robeson Health Centers n-as one of these projects, and addmi tional physicians were added. It has been very difficult to recruit family physicians as so many choose to specialize in one area or needs of people. 13,000 people are taken care of in Robeson County by the Consortium. There are two doctors in each of the Centers in Maxton, Pem broke and Fairmont, sharing the functioning collectively.
