Red Feather Personality - Tuberculosis Control Measures Noted Here, Newburgh News, undated
Dr. Richard G. Gould has served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Newburgh Public Heath & Tuberculosis Association, a member agency of the Greater Newburgh Community Chest, since February, 1957. This year, he is the first-vice president of the Board and Chairman of the Tuberculosis Control Committee. It is the responsibility of the committee to study the facts about tuberculosis in Newburgh and make recommendations to the Board as to how the funds budgeted for finding new cases of Tuberculosis can be most wisely spent.
Apportioning time for committee meetings and regular Board meetings presents a problem to Dr. Gould, in his busy schedule. He feels, however, that this is time well-spent since as a physician he is interested in protective health programs and in doing his share to help bring tuberculosis under control.
"We, of the Board, known [sic] that we still have a long way to go in this people's fight against tuberculosis, said Dr. Gould. Through our efforts to educate the public about tuberculosis, our Chest X-ray programs to find new and unknown cases and our help in the support of medical research for new and improved treatment measure for the known cases, we feel that we are helping to protect Newburgh people against this disease.
"In return, we hope that we can count on their help for the financial support of our programs. Approximately one-fourth of our Association's budget is met by a grant from the Greater Newburgh Community Chest. A cut in our grant from the Chest means a cut in our program. I know that our entire Board is as anxious as I am to have the Chest meet its goal this year."
