Excerpt from Public Health Administration in North Carolina

Part I of this study is divided into two main subdivisions, namely: (a) the North Carolina plan of State and local health services, and (b) miscellaneous considerations, including references to allied services. Of these main sub divisions, the former is an exposition of the present organization and services of the State and local health organizations; whereas the latter furnishes cer tain essential background information that helps to complete the picture of the conditions under which health work is done, and of other governmental or private agencies that contribute to the promotion Of health.

This study was made for the benefit of the State Health Officer and his staff. For purposes of exposition, the State health organization, as well as local health organization, is viewed as consisting of (1) the control agency - the board of health - and (2) the Operating or executive agency of this board - the department of health. In dealing with these branches of the health organization, and with such subdivisions of them as may exist, a brief historical introduction has been presented of each, and, in order to Show the relationship of the State organization to its local counterparts, descriptions of these organizations have been presented, where practicable, in parallel columns.

Excerpt from Public Health Administration in North Carolina

This report on Public Health Administration in North Carolina, compiled by Dr. William A. McIntosh and Dr. John F. Kendrick, representatives of the International Health Division of The Rockefeller Foundation, sets forth the results of the most comprehensive study of its kind ever undertaken and successfully accomplished in North Carolina.

Through months of painstaking study, which led the authors of this valuable contribution through a veritable labyrinth of research, we have, in this publication, an accurate picture of the organization of and the services rendered by those who are engaged in carrying on our public health activities.

The strength of this important document lies not only in the amount of intelligent effort expended in its preparation and its clear presentation of facts, but also in the constructive manner in which the authors have undertaken to make recommendations for a still greater public health structure in North Carolina.

When I requested that this survey be made. I wanted to get an accurate, fair and impartial appraisal of just what is being done in our State. This desire has been realized, and I commend this report for study to those who believe in basing their objectives upon a desire for truth. No institution is so perfect that it cannot be improved; perfection can only be approximated by the finite mind, but the more accurately and impartially we appraise human effort, whether exercised by the individual or by society in the aggregate. the more nearly we will be drawn to a realization of the best.

I not only commend the fine work of Dr. McIntosh and Dr. Kendrick for the valuable contribution they have made to the annals of North Carolina, but I also thank The Rockefeller Foundation for the services of these two eminent authorities, and for its invaluable support of the cause of public health in general, both in America and throughout the world.
