as it is often called "Well Baby
Clinic" is alternatcfi by Dr. M. L.

the patients, by apptiintment only

1'he purpose of the conference
is fttr the parents or guardians t<)
confer with the nurse or doctor
about their well children and how
to keep them well. "The confer-
ence is not for sick t-hildren." said
Dr. Gray, "and this is one of the
hardest thing for the parents to
understand." "We do not ex-
amine and treat the sick child at
these conferences."
The conference is established
for the mother's assurance and
gtiidance; teaches child care to
jparents; doctor's examination of
'hild may find some hidden or
ttnnoticed illness; parents to dis-
-uss prtihlems with doctors; im-
jmunizations; and for the parents
: to go back to their community or
j neighborhood and compare their
own experiences.
Such conferences have been the
! practice of Public Health Services
since 1890.
The Cherokee County Health
! Unit in cooperation with the State
} Department of Public Health has
made available to the county this
service by furnishing an equipped
examining room and office for
the doctors and nurses in which to
hold these Conferences.
