Telling it to Studs Terkel: HMPRG at age five.
After five years, the Health and Medicine Policy Research Group, out of generosity or vain-glory, has come to believe that its health policy interventions are a moveable feast. In what follows, the nation's premier interviewer extracts from three HMPRG stalwarts the history and the style of work which, up to this moment, has proven remarkably productive for us. Please presume this interview is an invitation to readers wherever you may be to inquire and seek counsel about how what we have been able to do might be replicated in your city. The interview was aired on WFMT's Studs Terkel Program of January 6, 1986. Patricia Terrell, Executive Director of HMPRG, John McKnight, Professor of Urban Policy at Northwestern University and a co-founder of the group, and Quentin Young, former Medical Director of Cook County Hospital and President of HMPRG, answered, as best they could, Studs Terkel's interrogatories.
