title: A clinic succeeds Kern's in Rhode Island.
abstract: A new Occupational and Environmental Health Center has opened in Providence, Rhode Island, the successor to the one operated by Dr. David Kern until 1997 when he published research that identified a new occupational respiratory disease among patients there and thereby drew a storm of controversy involving his program, Memorial Hospital, and Brown Medical School. The new independent clinic is the result of cooperative work among a number of medical and occupational organizations in the state.
