DR. NORMAN H. MILLER MRS CORDELIA STUCKERT M. D., University of Pittsburgh R NI Dwmont Hospital HEALTH DEPARTMENT Health is the greatest 0 all possessionsi' The Health Department functioned as an in- tegral part of Penn Hills School District, An- nually on the high school level the nurse checked the weight, hearing and visual acuity of all students. In addition every person in the elev- enth grade received a comprehensive examination by the school physician, DR. MILLER, with a follow-up program by NURSE STUCKERT. Many medical problems arising during the school term-some on an emergency basis-required immediate care, and numerous problems peculiar to the high school age-group necessitated fre- quent discussions with the nurse and physician. Besides this, the health department conducted mass innoculation programs, including polio- myelitis and Asian influenza vaccine and a chest X-ray survey, and also revised the booklet, School Health Policies and Childhood Diseases. Here are some health services in the educational program. Mrs. Stuckert, nurse, checked the hearing of Karen Mer- letti. Carol Heintz, junior, received a health cheek-up from Dr. Norman Miller.
