The controversy concerns an experi- mental family care clinic which the school is planning as part of its program in com- munity medicine. Although the clinic as well as most other facets of the broad-based program are still in the embryonic stages of planning, students, faculty members, and administra- tors have already begun to take sides on the question of how the clinic should serve the surrounding population. One group of students in particular, the Student Health Organization, (SHO), has emerged as a sort of pressure group to make sure the clinic does not become a facility which caters to the suburban middle class population while ignoring the poor. "The poor and the rural people are sim- ply not receiving medical care," says Lou Giancolo, a student in the public health school. "Doctors tend to gravitate into the wealthy areas where the facilities are best. Hospitals and clinics are often inaccessible to large portions of the population be- cause of geographical, sociological, and economic factors." Giancolo and a group of medical stu- dents from the SHO, fearing the new fam- ily clinic would be housed in vacant nurses' quarters on the grounds of the Veterans Administration Hospital on North Campus, have petitioned Medical School Dean Wil- liam Hubbard to build the clinic near a poor neighborhood, such as the Willow Village area in Ypsilanti. "Hubbard denied the legitimacy of our arguments," Giancolo said. "He said teaching and research were the most im- portant considerations, and service was tertiary. He said the new clinic should be no further from the Medical School than the VA hospital or the Parkside Medical facility, just over the Main Street bridge." However, since that meeting, SHO mem- bers have been included on the planning committees for the program. Futhermore. administrators have indicated the nurses' quarters at VA hospital, which have been rented by the University, will probably not be suitable for the new clinic. "That space wouldn't by any flight of fancy be suitable for this program," Hub- bard said yesterday. Prof. Donald Smith, director of the en-, tire community medicine program, says. "A site for the clinic has not been chosen. We have been told that we can use the space at the VA if we want it, but we'd rather delay that decision until we think it through." Smith envisions what he calls the "com- prehensive family-centered health care facility" as "a kind of model to try a variety of different approaches to com- munity medical care. In the area of finan- cing, for instance, Smith anticipates that patients will be able to pay bills for medical care on a prepaid insurance pattern as well as a straight fee-for-service basis. The clinic would provide preventive, therapeutic, and rehabilitation services for family groups selected on a cross-sectional basis of the population. "It has been definitely decided," Smith states, "that the clinic will serve a cross- sectional sample of the general population, and that no group will be under or over represented." While some, like Smith, want a cross section of the population to be served, others think the clinic should be oriented toward care for the poor. SHO's Robert Salinger, a freshman med- ical student, was'recently included on the program's planning committee.. "They won't define their terms of a cross section," Salinger says. "It could be a geographical cross-section or an economic one. We want a cross-section that is heavi- ly biased toward the poorer segments of the population." Hubbard points out that one area, of the program oriented toward poor people is the medical school's connection with the Wayne County General Hospital at Eloise, University medical students have worked there for seven years. Financing will also be an acute prob- lem if a new building has to be built for the clinic. In addition to the University's annual request, for funds from the State Legislature, the Medical School has applied for a grant from the federal department of Health, Education, and Welfare to finance the project. Since hardly anything about the project has been definitely decided upon, it is entirely possible that the controversy over the clinic's patient population will be settled as students, faculty. and adminis- trators work together in the planning stages. The question the planning committees will have to answer is whether the Medical School's responsibility toward the poor who are "living sick" justifies concentrating on them more than any other segment of the population.
