There are only 14 black
practicing physicians in the
city of Winston-Salem and the
youngest is over 40. according
to Dr. O.G. Hairston, one of
the 14. This, according to the
city's black M.D.'s is a very
serious problem.
The black doctors feel-that
' the closing of Reynolds
Hospital is the main reason for
this.
Dr. Hairston, Dr. Thomas L.
Clarke, and Dr. James M.
Jones Tall agree that young
black doctors do not come to
Winston-Salem because they
have no where to train.
Dr. Hairston says, "most
doctors go where there are
training facilities."
Dr. Clarke points out that,
"they (black doctors) were
coming as long as there was
hospital training. Primarily.
Reynolds' closing has caused
them to stay away."'
Dr. Jones added that, "the
closing of Reynolds could have
a detrimental effect on young
black physicians coming
here."
Dr. Hairston noted that
