Opportunity under the Caprehensive Bealth Services Program. During this review-which covered the period fra November 1967 threagh March 197X--we obseuved that although the proj- ect was serving a substantial meuber of persons, the project had several shortran which have precluded it frem fully meeting its goals and the progran's objectives. We were assisted by medical specialists from the U. S. Nablic aealth Service, EER, who evaluated the quality of medical care pro- wided by the project and the adequacy of patient medical records. The purpose of this letter is to bring cur findings and observaticons to your attention so that appropriate corrective action can be taken. Same of the findings are similar to those included in two recent reports to the Congress ca cur review of the Neighborhood Health Services Pro- gran for the poor admiuistered by St. Lake's Hospital Center, New York City (B-130515, June 15, 1971), and the Southern Monterey County Rural Health Project, ring City, California (3-130515, July 6, 1971).
