CITY OF QUINCY
DR. RICHARD M. ASH, Health Commissioner.
January 1, 1940.
Dear Doctor :-
For the second successive year the records show a decrease in the new cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis. There were 81 in 1938 and 64 in 1939. Naturally, this is good news and may really mean that we are reaching our peak in Quincy. Furthermore, Quincy should-under the law of averages-by now be reaping her reward for the considerable amount of money expended in her intensive fight against Tuberculosis during the last twenty-five years.
Another phase of the Tuberculosis statistics report that is pleas- ing and important, is the high per cent of cases hospitalized when discovered. This reflects much credit for the Tuberculosis Nurse's field work of rounding up active cases and having their contacts examined at the clinic. In this work the physicians have been very cooperative in sending their indigent cases to the Tuberculosis Dis- pensary. The more time and expense devoted to field work and con- tact finding, will always decrease the Tuberculosis rate in the city, and in the long run save the money of the taxpayers. The best slogan for Tuberculosis control, is still early diagnosis and immedi- ate hospitalization of active cases.
"Children's Clinic"
This clinic is still our most efficient link in Tuberculosis control. Here most of our educational work is done and preventive Tubercu- losis knowledge spread into the homes. Many parents come with the children to the clinic who would not otherwise appear. Naturally, when present we can easily persuade them to be examined and X- rayed. Thus the clinic does double duty. It prevents the primary case in the child from becoming active Pulmonary Tuberculosis and often discovers the active Pulmonary case in the parents.
Another fortunate phase is the wish on the children's part to be chosen for the eight weeks vacation at Camp Norfolk. It keeps up their by-weekly attendance at the clinic. Whereas, we at the clinic can be better informed on the health conditions in the home. Thus one can readily see the system of Tuberculosis control in Quincy is efficient and progressive and probably explains the decreasing rate of new cases found in the past two years. Let us continue on this road of progress.
"Camp Norfolk"
From an educational standpoint Camp Norfolk goes hand in hand with the Dispensary Clinic. The children look upon the Camp as a, recreation centre, whereas, we figure it as a health centre. What they look upon as fun, we call health education, and judging from their appearance at the final round-up at a picnic yearly given them at Duxbury Beach, we are both right. They stand out as happy sun tanned specimens of health, ten to twenty pounds heavier, bright eyed and full of vitality. Naturally, we are proud to look upon these children as splendid examples of health crusaders coming back to their homes and their schools. They are living proofs of what sunshine and rest and medical supervision can do in Tuber- culosis control. If there are any "doubting Thomases" in this mat- ter let them visit this camp and they will once and for all be con- vinced.
