She wasn't the kind of person who went to work from 8 to 5 and then forgot the job. She wac willing in u/nrk long? hours to get the revaluation done and that's how we completed that. Of course, we had to involve the school of government to help us with it, and there, Beverly was stilt involved. They did it as a team effort. It was Beverly and a young man and lady. I don't recall their names right now, but, they did it as team work. They talked to every single employee that this county has. They gave ratings where they should have it and where they shouldn't, they didn't. They upgraded every employee. Now, every county employee can, if they want to, better themselves. They have the opportunity to go to school and upgrade themselves. Some of the other thinns w? HiH tr? u/nrL ?.:#u 0.. ... V tw nuiK Willi Reynolds Health Center. I've always been an advocate of good health care for every citizen and 1 think they deserve it. 1 guess ?Iiat may stem back from when we didn't have very much. I didn't have a job and my husband didn't have a job and we had at that time Ave little kids. I hurt my foot and I went to the health department to get something done about my foot. Mind you, I walked from Boston to where the health department used to be on Highland Avenue. After sitting there for about three or four hours, finallv onp nf th*? *! ?' ^ ?- v> mv swibiai iw9 ui a receptionist or something came over to me and asked me what did I want. 1 showed her my foot which by that time had swollen up. She looked at my foot and she says well, maybe your doctor would credit you until your husband gets a job. What happened to me that day told me something about this county. A lot of people who could not afford medical care weren't getting it. I guess that incident just grew on me and when the option came up and we lost our hospital, it hurt me to my heart to see that kind of thing happen to our community.

J?il\unly ^t IJ^ "~ go to hospitals with, we made a fast exodus to Forsyth and Baptist Hospital. That took away the ?finances of Reynolds Hospital, which meant the . hospital was going to go down anyway. Then, you had doctors on the west side of town who refused to put their patients in Reynolds Memorial Hospital. They claimed that Reynolds was too far from their offices, Oh, you had a lot of things that went along with the closing of that hospital. Rllf u/Kpn it finolln AlA -I'*? ?_?? * w.?| ii niiaiijr uiu VIU)C, WC wuuian I see anything else. There was a group of doctors at Bowman Gray, including former county commissioner Julian Keith met at a breakfast. They happened to invite me to that breakfast. 1 went and as we sat there, they talked about what they were gorng to do with that building. 1 sat there and listened and finally said now wait just a minute. That building still belongs to the black community and you haven't asked any of us. They told me that's why 1 was there. 1 told them then, not me. 1 can't answer for the community. The only thing we can do with this building? is take it to the community and find out what they want to do with it. If we can't have a hospital in it right now, then, they need to be the ones to say what's being done with it. At that time, 1 was a member of the Forsyth Hospital Authority, so they put me on an ad hoc committee to find out what the community wanted to do with the building. We held mass meetings for something like two or three months and we decided that we could use it for ambulatory care, until the day comes when we can have a hospital there again; and surely, that day will come, because as this city grows, we're going to need more hospital beds. So, this is how we got into Reynolds Health Center and good health care. It's not what I wanted; 1 think I'm a perfectionist or something; nothing ever pleases me, I'm never really satisfied. So, I'm really not satisfied with Reynolds Health Center l*rf lr?v#? to it move to give better health care. Chronclc-What are some of the chief things that you find wrong with Reynolds Health Center?

J \ v 1 '' WoodrofHt's not so much whati find wrong with it, it's what 1 think it should be doing. 1 would love to see that center operated in such a way that we could take care of, not only John Q. Citizen out here; but 1 ^laVefsmily doctors, and some oFibcm realty use Reynolds Health Center; for our city staff and some of the teachers who asked when they interviewed me why the county didn't furnish dental care. 1 told them we had dentists, two of the best in the county, right in that building. They didn't know that. You have to sort of walk in that building to find out what's in there. It's there, and I'd just like to see more of it operating for more people. For some reason people think that it's for people who don't have money and that's not so. It operates for people who do have funds and I'd like to see them use it for that reason. Let's hope it grows. There is what is called a health maintenance organization and people are afraid of that word, operating in California by a county government and 1 hope, if I can save money, 1 can go out this summer and take a look at it. The other thing was to see that some blacks were in policy making positions in the county. We do have some department heads who are black. We have one _jor_two department heads who are women. But. thev arc not where they are seen. You see the men, you see the white males all the time and very seldom do you see the blacks who are* in policy making decisions, but you do have a few. Not enough, but a few. 1 hope we can make some progress in that direction. We've made a little bit and 1 call it just a start. It's not progress, just a start, it's just a beginning. You can't do it through quotas, you've got to employ people because of their ability and forget about who they are, whether they're a friend of yours or whether you knew their grandparents and all this stuff. You've got to employee people and we have proven we have black people who qualify and who can do the job better than some other people. Chronicle-Do you feel that the current board of county commissioners will continue in the past board's efforts of hiring minorities and women? WoodrafV-1 don't know.
