WELFARE PHYSICIAN
To the Board of Public Welfare:
The character of the work of medical care of de- · pendents is gradually changing as the recipients are classified and placed in different categories-Old Age As- sistance, Aid to Dependent Children, etc .- but there are still some individuals who do not fall into these categories and are given assistance under the head of General Aid.
These persons are of advanced age and subject to the accompanying ailments or may have some physical defect which incapacitates them to a greater or less extent. Thus our Infirmary tends to take on the appearance of a hospital. I would suggest to your Board consideration of plans to make it more like a hospital that permanent
1
112
nursing care be installed and all welfare patients be of- fered care there except of course those requiring surgical operation or those suffering from acute condition which require full hospital equipment for their care.
During the past year I have been called upon to see 28 patients at the Infirmary and 100 in homes; 121 calls were made at my office.
Respectfully yours, JOHN V. GALLAGHER, M.D.
