Doctor Shortage Strains Local Community Health Drive
Ed's Viewpoint notes repeated delays in local medical care after Dr. James B. Mott left, urging cooperation to attract a new physician. The Moulton Chamber of Commerce sent 817 questionnaires last January seeking a cooperative doctor practice, but only 40 percent responded, leaving 60 percent unaccounted for. Advertising insight shows 95 percent of business failures come from non-advertisers, while ads should focus on product benefits to customers.
