Challenging Work She’ s not a physician, but Marie McSwain Jamerson comes about as close to doctor- ship as anyone can, minus an ac- tual M.D. degree. What she can do will almost make you swear she must have taken the Hippocratic oath somewhere along the line. Con- sider the following, for instance: —She saw 526 employees last month and dealt with medical matters as diverse as allergy shots, blood-pressure checks, weight control, common colds, influenza, headaches and per- sonal medication. —Her work has included giv- ing blood tests and 230 tuber- culin tests to City employees. More tests are scheduled for the months ahead. —She has begun a program of providing physcial examinations for both new and old employees, as the need arises. “The idea is to go as far as we can in providing total employee health care which includes—but _is not limited to—the treating of injuries.” she said. “I've been very pleased with the response of employees to our service, and I invite everyone who hasn’t visited us to come anytime there is a need. “Pm a state licensed nurse practitioner, and this means one year of additional training beyond the requirements for a registered nurse,” she said. Marie received her year of training at Bowman Gray School of Medicine. “Nurse practitioners can do things that only a doctor used to be licensed to do, such as writing and filling prescriptions. People in my. profession can provide a wide range of medical services, but our training grounds us thoroughly in the points where . we can and cannot treat. Any employee who requires medical attention beyond the nurse prac- titioner’s capabilities will, of course, be referred to a physi- cian.” Marie’s supervisor, Kemp Cummings, said the nurse practi- Crnpayements Mr. and Mrs, John Foreman announce the erigagement of their daughter Susan Renee to Bobby Ray Horne.

First we assure our people the best in-house treatment available for medical needs that do not re- quire a physician. “Secondly, in an age of tight budgets and rising medical costs, the City is saving very significant amounts of money by keeping health-care costs down. “It’s a great thing for the City,” Cummings said. “I’ve noticed that morale among our employees has picked up con- siderably because they know that excellent medical service is as close by as City Yard.” Marie says she enjoys the work and finds it challenging. « “We have an open door policy, and we invite any employee to come by or to call anytime there is a need for our service,” she said.
