title: Health planning and resources development: an opportunity for optometry.
abstract: The American Optometric Association views the goal of the National Health Planning and Resources Development Act of 1974, as the promotion of physical, emotional and environmental health for all. The National Health Planning and Resources Development Act will work towards this goal by identifying problems, preparing reports and studies and developing recommendations for implementation directed toward solving the problems. These functions will be carried out in collaboration with private and governmental individuals and organizations concerned with health care services. Only through this coordinated effort will success be achieved.
