Abstract
The National Commission on Community Health Services, a private corporation sponsored jointly by the American Public Health Associa tion and the National Health Council, carried out a four-year nation wide study of community health needs, resources, and practices, with the aid of six task-force explorations in 21 communities across the na tion. Government grants and contributions from foundations and busi ness firms subsidized the study.
The following quotations have been selected from the Commission's Report—a Report very important because many of its Recommenda tions, and the data on which they were based, will have great influence upon currently-gestating national health policies.
