A Resource About Maternal and Child Health
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There really are many services provided to us by our Federal Government,
although at times we all have our moments of doubt as to the truth of such
statements, but it all comes down to knowing where they are and how to obtain
their benefits. That's why I have decided to include a variety of
"clearinghouses" in this part of my column each week. A clearinghouse is a
service that collects all sorts of data and information about an area of
concern, of some special health problem or condition. They have the telephone
numbers and addresses of resources and self-help groups, bulletins and
publications, brochures and information sheets. Its a great way to begin any
search for help and knowledge, and can hasten the journey to obtaining the
important facts you may need for an important health decision. Today's
clearing house information is an extremely important one. The National
Maternal and Child Health Clearinghouse, 8201 Greensboro Drive, Suite 600,
McLeen, VA 22102 (telephone 703-821-8955) will provide its information to
consumers and health professionals alike, and is an address you will want to
keep for present or future reference.
