- Description:
- "I think the major accomplishment--I hope some of the former directors of the program and some of the Regional Medical Program directors would agree with me--was to give back to communities and regions a certain say as to what their problems really are and then give them the wherewithal and give them a chance to try to do something about those problems. What this did was to encourage the program and encouraged the communication between hospitals on opposite sides of cities in different parts of the state. It not only encouraged people in hospitals and medical centers to come together, the private health agencies could sit at the same table. We had lay persons on the Regional Advisory Group committees and we had the professional societies, not just the doctors' various professional societies, but also the nurses and the other allied health personnel were there. We were very interested in trying to get the citizens to take an interest in the program and, at one time for several years, we had over 2,000 something, 2,300 or so, citizens, leaders in institutions of higher education and hospitals and private citizens and private agencies. All kinds of institutions within that region spend their weekends at retreats in state parks and other places in order to discuss the needs for the citizens of the state or whatever the boundaries were of the region, to try to think about what can the money that is available do to help meet some of those needs. How will we evaluate the success of the programs? What resources are needed? Do we need building, monies, people, training? And people talked together for a common good and that was exciting."
