COUNCIL ON INDUSTRIAL HEALTH OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION*' News Letter, July, 1952 What is being accomplished through State Industrial Health Conferences: "Let's | the record." During this past spring three Stale Medical Societies joined with other organisations and agencies interested in community health as co-sponsors of industrial conferences. The Second Louisville Area Industrial Health Conference, an evening meeting, was held at Louisville, Ky., the latter part of March. Since 1942 the Wis Industrial Health Clinics have proved to be an effective medium through which physicals industrial nurses, and management meet together to discuss problems of common interest. Fr " March through May, clinics were held thisyear at Milwaukee, Eau Claire, and Kenusha. Thy Third Annual Michigan Industrial Hcahl^JJay took place during the early part of May aft Flint. Each of these meetings showed ^healthy growth in attendanceover last year, with^ physicians, nurses, and members of management experiencing the group approach to the discus-' sion of problems of mutual interest. On several occasions during recent years organized labor has heen invited to join in theseT", conferences on both national and state levels but the results have indicated labor s reluctance to enter into these group health conferences. Their wholehearted participation is needed, and it is hoped that soon a way will be found to allay their apparent warmest. Through these conferences physicians arc becoming oriented to the significance oi under standing working conditions and relationships as they relate to their individual patients. They also discover that the in-plant industrial medical department's health maintenance pr 'ram affords them a unicpic opportunity to participate in the preventive practice of nicdicii.. and rehabilitation. Most important of all, the physician in private practice becomes aware of the practical implications that are inherent in our current social and economic trends. A better common understanding of these issues by labor, management, and medicine will unite us in purpose in adjusting to our evolving culture through self-initiated planning rather than by governmental regulation. \ fees ;G - flfpOLt-UTIC RES NOV. 24, ' 'oi PctriV.CU;Sta^/subsctT-ii'iit t'"' ketv lint of State, wc t of the Coir.ici jiAdore, during- tuv j|3&vlnjd to make avai would contribute i City ol - Vr'fast of Mexico. 17 site of lid,l ; .SS&ps destiliurir.atio' - The gas-lrcatr. 116,000,0* >:1 cw C>W'- -The petroleum m ^ing.5 Tl-.c su!fur...from the !t\ i carbons, the gas sr,y`~.oxygcn. llns jic -'f',,Cf>yP02a Kic:i hciil n As annthcr > c're-eunder constniclk ^Lilithe site on Dec. - Cl:ici. n <T>- lyZi .
