ew Buildings Highlight Growth The Center is undergoing rapid growth in the effort to keep pace with the new technol- ogy and services for care of the ill. But build- ings and facilities are only the tools which can be used by well trained, competent persons. Thus, one vital function of this Center is to keep the level of instruction at its peak , the growth of the campus reflects this trend to- ward better and more training. The Family Medicine Clinic, to be dedicated later this year, in- volves a new concept - total health care for the entire family. The Faculty House is located 2 blocks from the campus and offers 3 dining rooms, conference suites, a swimming pool, and several lovely guest rooms for overnight visitors to the Medical Center.
