Description |
- This manuscript announces the [Duke University] Department of Community Health Sciences being awarded a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation in order to establish and study a different form of health care delivery to an indigent population located in rural and urban areas of Durham, NC. The model uses a combination of locally-trained neighborhood health workers and physician's assistants to serve as an interface between patients and physicians. "Our clinic will be a highly mobile physician's assistant who has the immediate backing of experienced physicians, and the more remote backing of hospitals."
