Abstract
The essential elements of a plan for providing medical care to the indigent of the City of Baltimore are presented. Medical care for this group has been available to a limited extent and largely through the efforts of a number of agencies working quite independently. A plan has been developed which will utilize the medical resources of the city in what is believed to be an efficient and economical fashion. The program will be administered by the City Health Department, there will be a number of medical centers developed in association with hospital out-patient departments, these centers will function in an administrative, consultant and direct service manner, and the position of the centers and their relationship to the family physicians will be clearly defined. The methods of financing the program and of payment to physicians and medical centers are described.
