Project assists communities in developing health care programs

Twenty years ago, Philip J. Porter, M.D., FAAP, began work on a school-based program in Cambridge, Mass., to increase access to child health care services. When he resigned as heard of the program in 1981, the Cambridge project had more than acccomplished that goal; fiscal efficiency had been maintained as well.

From that project grew Healthy Children, a nationwide program designed to help communities improve child health care accessibility while reducing costs through the efficient use of existing human and fiscal resources.
