Comrittee announced today
at a demonstration In front of
the Edgemont Well-Boy Clinic

primary reason for the small
number responding to the
program. A survey 'by- the

those surveyed had ever heard
of the program despite the fact

Department of Social Services

every Medicaid recipient,
The Durham EPSDT
Committee emphasized the
importance which this tret
preventive health program
would have in halting
development of more serious
problems later, thus saving the
county Medicaid money in the
long run. '
The group listed number
of demands: (1) more hours of
clinics night and Saturday
hours and publicizing of the
hours. (2) hire person for each
