Health Resources in the United States, (Personnel, Facilities and Services)

This is an important volume for the research worker and for the doctor who is interested in facts.

The lover of statistical tables and of facts without conclusions will have a field-day with this volume. No solution to any health problem is offered nor is there any suggestion of the requirement for additional health resources. What is offered is a convenient tool of research for the appraisal of the health services of the nation.

The average pediatrician will be interested to learn that at the end of 1950 more than a billion dollars was being expended for new hospital facilities in the nation and that of this sum the federal share amounted to 36.8%. He may be startled to learn that in the same year that nearly one-sixth of the population of the nation was included in a group labeled Special Beneficiary Class.
