HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MJ.'1ENDATIONS The most critical problem facing many of the poor is the absence of health services. Before an individual can hold a job or keep one he or she must have good health. Our older people require better health services and the very young in poor families. Existing health services meet only a fraction of the need of poor people. We recommend: 1. That Fulton County start a visiting nurse_service for the many elderly and bedfast who cannot get to Grady Hospital. 2. That some d e c e n t ralization of the h e alth services now availabl e at Grady b e unde rtak e n to mak e them more accessible to people and to attempt to ease the ove rcrowding there. 3. Enfor c e the city code which r e quir e s that ambulance s b e staf fed b y a doctor, a r egis tered nurs e , or a p e rson wi t h Re d c~6ss First Aid tra ining. Extend the code to cov er the counti e s which do not have requirements. �
