WE ARE
THE BATTLE
OF OUR LIVES
Kamms Ie ~n A
Serious Health Crisis!
We in Kansas are no~ getting
enough doctors, dentists, nurs-
es, and other heaRh personnel
to meet our needs. This atfects
every one of us. We see R in
the rising costs of medical care,
delayed operations, and ~ong
w.a~ts ~t the doctor's o~ice.
Y~any smaller Kansas comamm-
tries are without pl~ysieians or
nurses entirely. Our health,
well being, our very lives are
affected by this manpower
shortage.
What are L~e reasons for this
situation? One reason is ~hat
there are not enough doctom
an:~where. There are 15,000 in-
ternships offered each year and
orhy 10,000 in,terns ~o fill them.
The ratio #f graduating physi-
ci, ans to our in~rensing popula-
tion is becoming steadily worse
year by year. Anot, her reason
is tha.t we seek physicians' ser-
vices five times as much as we
dM ten years ago.
Kansas is just' nat gettinLg
enough doctors :to meet the
• :,i needs of its people. Thirty-six
[ of Kansas' counties h,a~e more
than 2,000 people per physician.
The national average is 756. We
rank 36th in the n~mber af den-
tists csmpared to the rest of
the n~tivn.
The hub of med,~ea,l and he,M,th
training in Kansas is the Kan-
sas University Medical Center.
%t ~rains physicians, nurses,
physical therapist, medical
tec~nolog, is~ts; provides post-
gradu.~te edueation for pr.aetic-
ir~g phys~cians across ,the state;
does research in the cancer,
heart, and other major diseases
which attack us all; and is the
primary center ~ w~hich Kan-
sas dootors refer ,unusual~ or
serious diseases "for ,~p~ciia]
care. Admissions Came from
every county in the sta'te.
Ne~vly ,graduated physicians
are attracted to those states
where the people and the lelgis-
lature support medicine. They
do not move ,to or stay in states
that ~fail to do so. During the
last decade, only 25 percent of
the total budget of the Medical
Center has been provided by
tax dollars from the State of
Kansas. The rest has had to
come ,from the Federal Govern-
ment and ,frarn earnings for
services rendered. Combined
with the ,growing need for more
dootors and allied health pro-
fessionals, there have been sig-
nificant cu*.backs made by the
Federal Governmen,t in areas
affecting the Medi, cal, Center.
No new state funds are avail.
~ble to replace these e~pected
cutbacks.
The expanded programs that
are required to provide more
health personnel for Kansas
must ~be primarily achieved by
the Medical Center and the ad-
varmes that have been made
can be tra*gica~.,ly delayed or
des'troyed in the coming year
if the people of Kansas are not
willing ,to pick up the responsi-
bility ,for their own State's med-
ical een~er. The Federal Gov-
ernment can no longer be eom~-
ed ou to provide the support
for ~fun, ds to meet the gr,o~ving
shortage of physicians in Kau-
sas. It is up to us!
A supplemental budget re-
quest to the state is the only
possible ~ay to fund the pro-
grams required to gh, e atten-
tion to solvin=g the state's shor~-
age o'f doctors. This reques~
wil~ cover She expansion o~ in-
ternship and ,residency pro-
grams in the State, develop-
me~ of a Department of Fam-
ily Praotice, and a major en-
rollment increase ~th an im-
proved new curriculum. Mo~t
importantly, i,t is necessary to
{utly fund the requested regu-
lar hudget o~f the Umversi~y
~edical Center to maintain
quality of present cave so that
the planned e~pansion can take
,place. W,ithout the st~ppovt a[
the people of I~ansas, there will
be no ehance d meeting the
problem before it is too L~te.
Our state will continue to at-
tract and train considerably
fewer doctors, nurses, and oth-
er medical personnel than ~ve
need. All the people of Kamms
will lose.
We mu~ a~l concern ourselv-
es .with this praMem new. What
can you do? W, ri,te your local
nowsp~per and inform your
fellow Kansans ef the urgency
of this situation. Write your
state representative and ser#a-
for, and the Governor, all c-o
