Rural salesmanship urged to lure doctors to Kansas
Dr. James Wilson, named director of the Kansas Division of Health, says rural areas should be sold to doctors rather than using indentured service. He aims for one physician per 1000 people, noting a 6,000 person county needs about six physicians. Wilson, introduced by Dwight F. Metzler, has tied rural health improvement to statewide goals and plans to make the division the best in the nation.
