Community Relief Station Safety in the Community Among the numerous services that the community offers, perhaps the most important is its provision for the safeguarding of public health. This includes health services rendered by dental and medical clinics, relief stations and health building organizations as well as safety measures, provided for the protection of life. Were it not for these services the health of our community would not be adequately cared tor. No longer need faulty teeth, defective eyesight, nor any other physical defect go uncared for because of a lack of sufficient funds. Medical clinics such as the Northwestern Medical clinic, Wicker Park clinic, and the Municipal Tuberculosis clinic care for the ills of needy persons who cannot afford to pay the regular fee. 14 CQMMUNITY Municipal Tuberculosis Clinic Northwestern Medical Clinic
