16 <br /> Report of the Board of Health <br /> To the Honorable,Board of Selectmen <br /> and Citizens of Mashpee: <br /> { The Board of Health offered the Town the services of profes- <br /> :i sional care, nursing facilities, sanitation, immunization and clinics. <br /> Our nursing service with the Barnstable Nursing Association <br /> will terminate this year. It has been a,pleasure working with them <br /> and we appreciate the cooperation and interest which they ex- <br /> tended over the number of years to our Town. We will be affili- <br /> ated in the future with the Falmouth Nursing Association and look <br /> forward to a successful year under their supervision. <br /> Dr. Robert A. Riley, of Osterville, Mass. was the dentist this <br /> year and it is with regret that our dental program was not a com- <br /> plete success due to the parents not taking their children to the <br /> dentist. <br /> Well-child clinics and immunizations programs were offered <br /> by our visiting nurse and Dr. Hutchins F. Inge which proved to be <br /> j a success. <br /> The Town this year experienced a rapid growth in develop- <br /> ments. Additional stress was applied by the Board to insure proper <br /> sanitation and other installations. The increased demand for li- <br /> censes and permits has doubled the work-load of this Board. <br /> The disposal area was maintained and controlled under the <br /> surveillance of our custodians. The area received care daily by <br /> bulldozing, thereby offering the most possible areas for dumping. <br /> The Board is planning an accelerated sanitation health pro- <br /> i <br /> gram for the ensuing year. Also, this year has opened new horizons <br /> and new phases of health such as Medicare, State and Federal <br /> Health and Mental programs. <br /> The Board of Health members, secretary and disposal area <br /> staff wish to express our appreciation and gratitude to all who <br /> assisted and co-operated in this year's programs. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> i <br /> E. EDWARD LASHLEY, Chairman <br /> HARRIET DALY, Clerk <br /> CURTIS HENDRICKS, Agent <br /> Board of Health <br /> y <br /> i <br />
