New RHC Must Mean Continued TLC ? from page 1 despite the promises, Tatum rep resents many indigent people who are on the bottom floor of those new and rapidly changing structures called HMOs (health maintenance organizations). Mr. Tatum's uncertainties are well grounded, especially in the community of memory and tradi tions of medical services in East Winston which are rooted in the Katie B. Reynolds Hospital. East Winston residents well remember the bright and glorious days of "Katie B," with all its black doc tors and nurses, all of its TLC ? tender loving care. Dr. Jane way and his team at the Medical School need to understand that Tatum is not anti progressive. He is not looking the gift horse in the mouth. Tatum, like many African Americans, is gripped by a sentimental and emotional mentality about his community. That community often felt that "change" spelled integration, and meant destruction for black institutions. Katie B. became part of the deep, not dark, though nostalgic side of segregation. Tatum and many in East Winston have cher ished remembrances of "their hospital," because it was part of a broad and more self-sufficient and independent African-Ameri can community. Blacks had their own shops and businesses and baseball teams and doctors and nurses and hospital. A one-stop TLC community. Even though much of that is now behind us, memories don't die fast. What we got in the name of progress, according to many, is not all that was promised, and, in fact, was often worst than what it replaced. Tatum is asking Bowman Gray to take a close look at whether new gadgets to be used by physicians-in-training is worth the trade-off. After all, health care is more business than care in the eyes of many. Few are convinced that the HMO/doctor and indigent patient relationship is a partner ship. More specifically, would the community's buy-in be easier to have if the Medical School and county turned over the old RHC to Tatum's and other groups as part of the revitalization of East Winston? Can the residents he assured that they will have rela tionships to the new RHC on the other side of care ? other than as patients and clients? Jobs for example? litis is the knuckle where Dr. Janeway and Mr. Tatum will meet. Far from being the hand maiden of progress and social justice, some of what replaced East Winston's communal struc tures actually perverted it and stood it on its head. Before the ground is broken on the new RHC, we need to mend some old fences and close some old gaps. The contributions and promises to the East Winston community of the RHC go far beyond corporate medicine, phys ical structures, and state-of-the art technology and highly trained care givers. We must weave into the debate Tatum's concern for memories and traditions. Dr. Janeway's promises for improv ing the health status of the com munity must tap into the commu nity's sensibilities and concerns. Both promise to continue the debate. If that does not happen, the TLC we all want in RHC will be fraught with anxieties and bar riers. And, if not delivered in crit ical condition, the idea may be DOA. None in our community want that. We want an RHC with TLC. Let's keep talking and accepting the validity of each other's positions. Mayor names two to HAWS board from page 1 lished a record of excellence in the field.
