Health planning and ambulance services grow in Southern Illinois
Southern Illinois trends in health and welfare show progress in planning and local services. Central Egyptian Area health planning committee formed in 1969 with six counties. Massac Memorial Hospital began ambulance service to Massac, Pope, Johnson and part of Pulaski counties with federal grants. Mental health shifts toward local treatment, with bi-county arrangements between Franklin Williamson and Jackson counties. Poverty programing expands through JWCAA Western Egyptian and Shawnee groups, amid community tensions and contested leadership. Education moves toward consolidation and special education program cooperation across districts.
