From the Sub-Series:

Files in this series were created from 1984 through 1994. Material includes notes, memos, correspondence, reports, journal articles, and press clippings. Topics include the state of mental health care, veteran's homes, occupational therapy, and nursing shortages. This series also includes material covering Maine family practices and community health clinics. Material also concerns access to health care, focusing on insurance coverage and public health issues, including smoking and AIDS. There is material about providing funds for the rebuilding of the Jackson Laboratory in Maine, which burned in 1989. Other topics include recruitment of nurses, nursing degree programs, and the effect of the nursing shortage on rural health care in Maine. Many reports, newsletters, and correspondence are from Maine health care-related associations such as the Maine Head Injury Foundation or the Maine Public Health Association, many of which groups were state chapters of national organizations. Files were kept by Christine Williams. Some files on long-term care and Medicare/Medicaid programs are interfiled in this series. Additional files on public health care are in the Public Health Care series. Files on veterans' homes and veterans' health care are also found in Veterans' Affairs.

Acknowledgment of non-neutrality

The George J. Mitchell Department of Special Collections & Archives, like all archives and special collections libraries, is the creation of human beings who have collected, organized, and described things in ways that reflect personal, cultural, societal, and institutional biases. Although we strive to preserve and present collections in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, and are represented in the collections, we acknowledge that our systems are neither neutral nor perfect. We encourage you to let us know if you encounter materials, descriptive language, or practices that are offensive or harmful, particularly those for which inadequate context or warning is offered. We are committed to modifying and updating our descriptive practices to use respectful and inclusive terminology and appreciate your help in this work. We look forward to supporting you in your research and learning together.
