Major goals of
this program are: (1) Evaluation of a limited
of individuals in order to more clearly define the existing
components of chronic obstrucive pulmonary disease, and any nonpulmonary complications. (2) Development for the individual patient,
in cooperation with his regular physician, a maximal trial program
of management, supplementing currently available community services with special services of the project staff and faciltilies. (3) Development of educational techniques for patients and their families
regarding the nature
utilizing both group and individual methods
and management of chronic pulmonary disease. (4) Promotion of
better understanding by both professional and nonprofessional groups
of the techniques and problems involved in the diagnosis, management, and prevention of chronic pulmonary disease.

by the project staff dealing with the nature and management of
chronic pulmonary disease. These consist of eight one-hour
sessions in the Richmond County Health Department auditorium,

other forms of chronic illness, and adaptable to other communities.

The initial, and subsequent follow up evaluations,
are carried out by the project staff at Talmadge Hospital, will
require several scheduled visits, and include detailed health and
activities questionnaires, medical and social service interviews,
physical examination with emphasis on cardio-pulmonary status,
a home visit by the project nurse, a battery of clinical laboratory
studies, pulmonary function studies, skin tests (TB and allergy
screening), physical fitness tests, evaluation of any specific treatment technique currently used by the patient (such as nebulized
medications), and evaluation of status during and after the use
of additional treatment techniques (such as IPPB or oxygen).
The informaion obtained in this evaluation phase is reviewed and
interpreted by the project staff, realistic goals for each individual
patient established, and a proposed program developed for that
individual. This is reviewed with the patient's physician, and
with his concurrence, a rehabilitation program is initiated.

Rehabilitation Following an individualized plan for rehabilitation, the patient will be carried through a 3 month period during
which maximal support is given to achieving an optimal treatment program. Respirator equipment may be provided during the
trial treatment period for use at home, if indicated, so that the effectiveness of such treatment can be ascertained. Patients needing
instruction in breathing pattern adjustment will be instructed by
a member of the project staff. Follow up of some activities may
be carried out in the home by the staff nurse.
At the end of the intensive
ment of the patient's status and
trial period,
there will be a reassess-
program recommended.
On-going care will remain the responsibility of the patient's regular
physician, with project staff participation only upon expressed
need. It is anticipated that a one-year and two-year follow-up evaluation will be undertaken.

The
present schedule calls for the acceptance of two new parprogram each week, with an ultimate goal of 200

of a staff member but with none of the 'on call' responsibilities. His
long service to his community has meant much to its people. Congratulations!

It is always so gratifying to hear of our doctors who are so generous in voluntarily serving his less fortunate fellowmen. Recently,
we have been informed of two who have so given of their time and
knowledge. Dan Callahan, '53, of Warner Robins, Ga., is one of eight
physicians who have volunteered for duty as part of Project Viet-Nam,
according to Project Chairman William B. Walsh. As the News Release from the Project Headquarters states that when Dan was asked
why he volunteered, he replied: "I look upon this gesture as my
opportunity to do something for someone in remuneration for the
good things that my family and I enjoy in the abundant life that we
know. I pray that more doctors will see such opportunities for chari-
15
table works as their opportunity to continually upgrade the image
of American medicine." Project Viet-Nam was initiated last summer
at the urging of President Johnson^ and recruits doctors from throughout the United States for short-term, unpaid service in Viet Nam.
To date, including the eight current volunteers, approximately 100
physicians have participated in this Project.
