Less minorities use
the general hospital
A recent statewide study of
33,000 hospital patient
discharge records shows that
the use of general hospitals is
one third higher for the white
population than Blacks and
other minorities. Minority
males have the lowest use of
hospitals by all population
groups, according to the study.
The study statistics state
that white male hospital
discharge rate was 134 per
1000 and 99 per 1000 for
minorities. At the same time
there were 197 white female
hospital discharges per 1000
population as compared to 166
hospital discharges per 1000
population by minority
females.
Prepared by the State Health
Planning and Development
Agency of the Georgia
Department of Human
Resources and the seven
sub-state Health Systems
Agencies, in cooperation with
the Georgia Hospital
Association, the study was

patients from various areas of
Georgia go to receive hospital

BRIEFS
General consensus in NYC is
that Black politicians must join
with non-political leaders to
regain some of the clout the
politicoes lost when Percy
Sutton and David Dinkins lost
their respective bids for Mayor
and Borough President of
Manhattan.
Said Arthur H. Barnes,
E resident of the New York
rban Coalition: “I think there
is general sentiment that a
cross section of the Black
community - not only
politicians -- must competently
plan our strategy. We have a
leadership vacuum and those
that we have are in chaos - not
dealing strongly enough on
issues of housing and jobs.”

Many victims of a tragic,
non-racial but blinding disease
- Retinitis Pigmentosa - can
now be helped to see by an
electronic light-amplifying
device developed by ITT. The
device resembles a monocular
or Binocular opera glass and
weighs only 12 ounces.
Sufferers of the disease have a
form of limited vision that
makes it especially difficult for
them to see in dim light.
Officers of the volunteer
chapters of the National
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Foundation have expressed a
desire that more Blacks join.
