Medical Services for Rural Areas

JAMES C. OVERALL M.D.

This book is a short report on the difficulties of obtaining medical care in the mountainous areas bordering east Tennessee and Kentucky, and how this problem was handled by the Tennessee Medical Foundation. This region is a thinly-populated, rural, mountainous area where the financial status of the people is probably a greater problem than that of arranging for medical care. This book would be profitable and instructive reading for all who are faced with the problem of furnishing medical care to inaccessible rural areas.
