title: Getting it Together: Health Care in a Rural Community.
abstract: In 1972, with the aid of a Local Initiatives Program grant, a group from Simon Fraser University studied the community of Port Alice, B.C., and the surrounding area. They concluded that health care for the community would have to involve the citizens themselves, and would necessitate regionalization and integration of all services in order to be effective. This paper summarizes and abstracts from the group's final report those findings which are applicable to many rural communities. The support of the study group, particularly Dr. Robert Horsfall of the Department of Geography, SFU, is gratefully acknowledged.
