Dr. William Cv. Anlyan Vice President for Health Affairs Duke is a dynamic, expanding medi- cal center, construction of a giant new hospital makes that dramatically clear. But progress in medical care involves more than new cement. Dr. William Anlyan is determined that improve- ment will accompany change, and Dr. Anlyan has the position and the per- spective to guarantee an audience for his ideas. As the University Vice President for Health Affairs, Anlyan is chief of the medical center, ultimately responsible for its operation and development. Cer- tainly, that task seems demanding enough. But his concerns span a much broader field, involving all aspects of health planning and policy-making in the United States. Dr. Anlyan has per- sonally inspected health care systems throughout the world, including Main- land China, and he incorporates his lessons learned abroad into well-doc- umented advice for the future of health care in American society. Though his pen may lately be mightier than his scalpel, Dr. Anlyan is a surgeon who continues to make rounds, keeping in touch with clinical medicine. Rapid recent advances in medical technology have made it difficult for institutions and practitioners to keep pace. Dr. Anlyan contends that health professionals have been slow to antici- pate needs in time to prepare for them, and he is excited about several innova- tive solutions at Duke. Unusual design features of the new Duke Hospital North will insure structural flexibility. For example, moveable walls and ceil- ings will accommodate equipment yet to be invented. Similar flexibility in use of floor space will grace the Searle Cen- ter for Continuing Education now being constructed on the ground floor of the Seeley Mudd Library. Dr. Anlyan believes that continuing educa- tion has enormous potential for main- taining high-quality, advanced stand- ards of medicine. He feels that Duke has a responsibility to make facilities and faculty accessible: he also believes that Searle Center activities will be both self-supporting and affordable. Dr. Anlyan is particularly concerned with health education - not only of YD Q.. fm ' I li t' t . . ! fx- 2 WN-X .r . YQ. 1- health professionals, but of the lay pub- lic. He emphasizes that high-cost medi- cal problems often relate directly tc social habits, including alcohol and drug abuse. cigarette smoking, and obesity. Anlyan calls for development of educational programs appealing to the entire population. Furthermore. he stresses the value of preventive medi- cine. a concern that must engage public and practitioners alike. Citing impressions of worldwide experience with national or socialized medical care systems. Dr. Anlyar affirms the role of the private sector ir, American medicine. Americans hold higher expectations for rapid. excellen care than most other systems have been able to provide. Anlyan believes that most issues can be successfully approached by the private sector. applying appropriate planning. A creative administrator and ar energetic diplomat, Dr. Anlyan is com mitted to excellence in health care While directing the development o' new facilities at Duke. he continues tc influence health policy nationally. Fur thermore, he maintains a physicianf emphasis on the major purpose anc. focus of medical design - the patient' benefit.
