Dear Mr. Vice-President:
We are planning the third annual "Update in Cardiovascular Disease" Course for primary care
physicians sponsored by the Chattanooga Unit of The University of Tennessee College of Medicine and
Erlanger Medical Center. Erlanger Medical Center is a 750 bed county hospital and tertiary referral
center. We anticipate approximately 250 primary care physicians from throughout the Southeast in
attendance at our course to be held in Chattanooga (Holiday Inn Convention Center) on September 8th
and 9th, 1994.
Appropriate for the changing health care climate, our course will include a portion devoted to health
care policies. With great pride and anticipation, we w o u l d invite y o u to participate in our
upcoming course. Possible formats would include; a presentation regarding the Clinton Health Care
Plan or preferably a protagonist-antagonist format involving yourself and perhaps Mr. Gingrich.
Protagonist-antagonist formats have become a common method at medical meetings for fast-paced and
exciting presentations of evolving topics. We are targeting the late afternoon of either September
8th or 9th (there will be a reception on the evening of the 8th).
�Page 2
A l t e r n a t i v e l y , we would be privileged to have Mrs. Clinton participate, possibly in a protagonistantagonist format perhaps with Dr. Bernadean Healey.
We are tremendously supportive and appreciative for your efforts, and are hopeful for your
consideration and course participation.
Best wishes for continued success and good health.
Respectfully,
Gregory W. Natello, D.O., F.A.C.C.

MEMO
Yo
Garv Colicn. While House Tusk f orce
Michelle Pumnelli. HHS
From: Aiati Taylor, Carolinas Medical Center
Sul^cct: HHS visit. Wednesday, Inly 6
Date: 7/1/94
As discussed on the phone. I'm offering a little background on our hospilal tor
your use. along with a map to our facility.
Carolinas Medical Center
Established in I'MO. Carolinas Medical Cenler is an 84.Mvd academic medical
center leaching hospital. Il is the second largest hospilal in North Carolina and iealurcs a
Level 1 Trauma Cemer, a Level III Neoruilal Intensive Care Unil, the area's only Heart,
kidney and liver transplantation cenler, the Carolinas Hear! Inslituie (the area's major
cardiac care center), a Comprehensive Cancer Center, seven intensive cure uniis with *<>
)•
beds, and much more.
It is imporlant lo note that the concept of universal access lo healthcare is not new
io us. Since our facility opened, we have always healed every patient who comes
ihrough our doors, regardless ofthe patient's ability to pay. We are the only local
hospilal lo adhere to this policy. While federal law requires all hospitals to offer lifesaving emergency care, we go far beyond lhat. Since our county docs not own or operate
its OV-TI hospital, Carolinas Medical Center created a series of clinics in wliich anyone
who docs not have access lo medical care can seek treatment. Patients can be seen on a
coriiuuing basis, if necessary. By use of I lie clinics, and the prac I ice of prevcnlive
medicine, we strive to keep patients from using tiic emergency dcpaitmcni for nonemergency care. This, in turn, holds down the cosi of healthcare. In addition, we own
.md operate a Neighborhood Health Center. This lacililv offers high i.|ualitv medical care
convcnien! to some of Charlolte's major public housing projects.
�Our plans arc to tour our Children's Hospital and our Emergency Departmenl.
Here is ihe timetable:
9:00 - 9:30-- Arrive ai CMC and tour faciliiy with Paul Fran/ and physician (Note: this
tour will be open to coverage by the media.)
9:30 • 9:45 — Proceed to auditorium, where Dr. Torres-Gil gives preseniation on ihe
need tor universal coverage.
9:45- 10:15 -- Dr. Torres-Gil takes questions from the audience
10:15 - 10:30 - Dr. Torres-Gil fields questions from Ihe media
10:30 - Dr. Torres-Gil and Rep. Watt depart from CMC.
Maps to our facility follow this memo. Please pull inlo the main circular
driveway (al the fountain). I'll be there, along with Paul Fran/, the administrator of
Carolinas Medical Center.
We look forward to (he visit. In the meantime, call if there arc any question^.

�THE FACTS ABOUT THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN
NEW YORK
WHAT IS THINK FIRST?
THINK FIRST of Northeastern New York is an injury prevention program of Sunnyview
Hospital that has been serving the Capital District region since 1987. Our purpose is to
decrease the occurrence of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury. We work both
independently and collaboratively to educate all segments of the community. We provide
programs to elementary, middle and high school students, work with legislators to develop
and to pass injury prevention legislation {such as the recently passed bicycle helmet law],
serve as consultants to other professionals, work with all types of media, educate the public
at large through participation in wellness days, and health fairs and speak at PTA meetings
and conferences.
WHY IS THE PREVENTION OF BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD INJURY SO
IMPORTANT?
Traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries kill more people under the age of 34 than all other
causes combined. Those that survive are left with physical and cognitive changes that alter
their lives forever. In New York State there are approximately 24,000 such injuries annually.
Most occur to males between the ages of 14-24. Each incident costs society an estimated
$1.5 million in direct care costs, with involved brain injuries costing as $4.5 million. These
injuries drive up the cost of health care. Much of the cost is passed on to the consumer
through higher taxes paid for publicly funded programs and through payment of higher
insurance premiums.
WHY DOES SUNNYVIEW SUPPORT THIS PREVENTION EFFORT?
Part of Sunnyview's mission is to support activities aimed at prevention. A hospital is a
community institution and should respond to identified needs in its service area. We are
granted tax-exempt status because we do this. Beginning in 1992, the New York State
Health Department and the local Health Systems Agency require the filing of an annual
Community Service Plan by every hospital in the state. Hospitals must document both
community service and the amount of uncompensated care they provide.
HOW IS THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK funded?
�lUpt.,1
V^f^
-»
Sunnyview runs this program as an unreimbursed part of the hospital budget. The hospital
attempts to offset expenses by seeking grants and sponsoring special events such as the Silent
Auction. It is difficult to secure grants for general operating expenses ot" the program.
DO OTHER HOSPITALS IN THE AREA FUND THINK FIRST?
No. THINK FIRST received a one time gift from Albany Medical Center in 1992 of $5000.
WHY SHOULD SUNNYVIEW SPONSOR A FUND RAISER WHICH SUPPORTS ONLY
ONE PROGRAM?
THINK FIRST is the only Sunnyview program that is offered free of charge to the entire
community with no possibility of reimbursement. This is in keeping with the policy of the
national program. All 200 programs nationwide affiliated with the NATIONAL HEAD AND
SPINAL CORD INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM operate the same way.
OTHER FACTS ABOUT THINK FIRST.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK is one of 7 programs
nationwide designated to function as a training center for the national program. This provides
national recognition for the hospital.
* The director of our program serves as co-chair of the national elementary education
task force. This group is developing a new curriculum for students in grades 1-3 that will be
used throughout the country.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK received one of two special
citations given by Governor Cuomo for outstanding work in health education.
* The director of our program serves as director of the state organization, THINK
FIRST of NEW YORK, INC.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK provides programs to 10,000
students annually and reaches another 40,000 through community events.
* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK manages the low income
helmet distribution program for Schenectady County and has conducted helmet sales on
several occasions for the community.

* THINK FIRST of NORTHEASTERN NEW YORK is a chapter of the national

by America's neurosurgeons in 1986 as a result of their frustration about being unable to
"cure" brain and spinal cord injuries.

' You made me reaI i
costly public health' problems. According to the N w York State Department ot
e
Health. 24.000 N w Yorkers are either permanently disabled or killed from he
e
or spinal cord trauma each year. In this country. 2 million people sustain
brain injuries each year. These injuries account for 100,000 deaths, 500,00'
hospitalizations, and 50,000 permanent disabilities. 2.000 people remain in
comatose state. 10,000 persons sustain spinal cord injury in N w York
e
annually. The rate of spinal cord injuries is higher in N w York State than
e
is nationwide. Nationally, spinal cord injury accounts for 5,000 deaths and
10.000 permanently paralyzed individuals. Approximately 50£ of these injuri
are caused by motor vehicle crashes. Falls, assaults and other mishaps acco
for the remainder. The 15-24 year age group is at greatest risk. Trauma cos
society more than heart disease and cancer combined and is the leading caus
of death for persons under age 34 than all other causes combined. These
injuries are incurable and among the most serious and costly. Direct care
costs and the indirect cost of loss of productivity for each of these injur
averages 1 5 million dollars.
.
During the past four years, THINK FIRST of N w York, Inc. has provided more
e
than 1100 classroom presentations to over 28,000 students in the Capital
District. Thousands more have been reached with prevention messages through
wellness days, health fairs, mall exhibits, and special community events. A
quarterly newsletter, Prevention Update, is published as a resource for the
.
community and other projects.such as the Schenectady County Bicycle Safety
Coalition which runs a bicycle helmet distribution program for low income
families are undertaken. THINK FIRST of N w York. Inc. collaborates with ol
e
organizations such as the Boys' and Girls' Clubs and Traffic Safety Boards
operates one of the eight training centers nationwide that prepare
professionals to start local efforts. Last summer,, through the generosity
local neurosurgeon, THINK FIRST offered a $10.00 rebate for a limited peri
of time to any adult purchasing a bicycle helmet for a child under the agfj
18. Schenectady County has the third highest bicycle injury rate. 64.42 p
«
100.000 population, among the 62 counties in N w York State according to
e
accident data from the Department of Motor Vehicles. The state average is
46.33 per 100.000 population. Most bicycle accidents happen to children
between the ages of 10 and 14.
W y is bicycle helmet use so important?
h
A study published in the M y 25, 1989 N w England Journal of Medicir
a
e
reported that in 1985, bicycling caused 1300 deaths and 574.000 emergency
visits in the United States. 68£ of severe injuries occur in riders undet

�TEAMWORK
Restoring each patient to the fullest
possible health and functional ability
is the goal ofthe rehabilitation team.
To do this effectively, the team works
closely with the patient's family. Family
support programs have been very
successful in helping the family to cope
and then providing them with the tools
to become active participants in achiev-
ing the patient's rehabilitation goals.
The team approach is used as an
ongoing collaboration between patient,
family and staff.
Every rehabilitation program is
designed to encourage our patients to
reach the greatest level'of self-sufficiency their condition allows and their
own personal motivation demands.
�H w Can I Pay for this Program?
o
Many insurances cuver all or a portion of the
program. Private pay arrangements are also
available for the patient whose insurnnce will not
cover the program.
What Happens Once I Complete
Program?
Upon completion of the Program, a clinical
summary with recomiiu-nilation.-. is torwarJeJ to
the patient's referring: physician. Patients .ire also
strongly encouraged to attend the Sunnyview
Fibrositis Support Group, which is a\ ailahle to
all alumni of the Sunnyview Fibrositis Treatment
Program. The group meets at Sunnw lew on a
weekly basis. Individual ami tamily therapy is also
available through the Social Work IVpartment
for any patient who reipiires additional education
or therapy.

Dear Vice-President Gore:
On behalf of the Conference Program Committee and Mayo Foundation, I invite you to be the
KEYNOTE SPEAKER at the conference Visualization in Biomedical Computing '94 (VBC '94) to be held
at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, October 4-7,1994 (see enclosed Advance Program). If you
are able and willing to accept this invitation, we would be most honored. This international conference is
one of the outstanding meetings in our field and will attract over 400 scientists, physicians, engineers and
students from around the world involved in scientific visualization and biomedical imaging. We are
delighted that Mayo has been selected as the site for this important event.
Your presentation would be at 8! r^a m 'in-PhilHp9^
.QctofaerS. 1994. I respectfully suggest that your remarks include commentary on the current important and
critical changes in the health care industry, with special focus on the impact that technological and scientific
advances have had, and will continue to play, in both the cost and quality of medicine and health care
delivery. Of particular relevance and interest is the "information super highway" for which your vision and
promotion play such a seminal and vital role. Youf extensive involvement in and national perspectives of
the current challenges and climate of technological advances, and their potential impact on national health
care, eminently qualifies you for such an address. This topic, including cost/benefit concerns, is of
considerable interest to researchers and practitioners in the biomedical visualization field, many of whom
will attend VBC '94 and who are at the cutting edge of developing and delivering new technology and
advanced approaches to improved health care. They are ambassadors for over 250 institutions, mostly in
the U.S., which are influential proponents of the "information super highway."
We will be pleased to provide an honorarium for your participation. We would be delighted to arrange
or facilitate any other experience you wish during your visit. I will be happy to provide more information
if you desire. I look forward to your response, hopeful that you can and will accept this invitation, so we can
list you as our Keynote Speaker in the Final Program for VBC '94.

Dear Vice-President and Mrs. Gore:
While Western New York i s perhaps not the best known region of the
United States of America, nevertheless through the combination of
natural resources provided by the mighty Niagara River and the
human ingenuity t h a t harnesses i t s energy and power, i t i s the
source of l i g h t t o m i l l i o n s of people i n the United States and
Canada.
Like a l l regions o f the United States however i t s u f f e r s the many
problems consequent t o Change and the absence of awareness of the
deeply s p i r i t u a l meaning of human l i f e and of our connectedness t o
the EARTH t h a t nurtures us. At the recent meeting of the Governors
of the United States, President C l i n t o n spoke eloquently t o t h i s
apparent absence o f committment t o b u i l d a n u r t u r i n g society as
evidenced by t h e ever present presence of dissension and one
upmanship, a t a l l l e v e l s of government and i n most areas of human
endeavor.
In Western New York we wish t o t u r n on the human power and
resources present i n our region t o f a c i l i t a t e understanding of what
i t means t o l i v e w i t h p r i v i l e g e i n the United States of America, t o
enlighten our communities about the p l i g h t of Mother Earth and t o
t u r n despair expressed as dysfunction w i t h i n i n d i v i d u a l s , f a m i l i e s
and society a t the loss of what have been the mainstays of economic
s e c u r i t y i n t o HOPE f o r what CHANGE can do t o r e d i r e c t our hearts
and souls and e f f o r t i n t o these new challenges. As you recently
pointed out i n your speech on r e - i n v e n t i n g government, CHANGE i s
the constant of l i f e . As h e a l t h care professionals and counselors
we see people i n increasing numbers and on a d a i l y basis who s u f f e r
from the p h y s i c a l , emotional and s p i r i t u a l consequences of FEAR of
the many changes c u r r e n t l y under way and who f e e l cheated by them.
W believe t h a t by informing people about the challenges of CHANGE
e
and i t s profound and b e n e f i c i e n t rewards we can enable them t o
embrace the f u t u r e w i t h HOPE thus releasing them i n t o new ways of
Thinking, Being, Doing and L i v i n g .

In 1978 he started Exceptional Cancer Patients, a specific form of individual and group
therapy utilizing patients' dreams, drawings and images. ECP is based on

redirected his life. He is now very involved in humanizing medical education and making
the medical profession aware of the mind/body connection. Bernie travels extensively

for ten years prior to the publication of her book conducted workshops nationally on how
these spiritual beings can guide, assist and enrich humanity.

living, thus allowing the energy of divine guidance and love to liberate us to the fullness
of life and joy in its living.

lo ihe appropriate person and/or address. The most recent request however is very, very
different for two basic reasons.
First, the Hospice of the Chesapeake is a tremendous service organization playing an important
role in the lives of many individuals. Second, it is administered by a member of a family that
has played a large role, not only in my life and development, but in the lives of hundreds of
individuals in the greater Maryland area.
Your attention to the enclosed information and attendance al one of the events during the 15th
anniversary celebration is greatly appreciated. The events will take place October 14-16, 1094.

H O S P I C E PREPARES FOR MAJOR EXPANSION
Hospice of the Chesapeake is a few
steps closer to a major expansion which
will enable its staff to meet the demands of unparalleled growth in patient census, according to Hospice
president Erwin E. Abrams.
By the end of March, renovations will
begin to expand Hospice of the
Chesapeake's existing facility into the
adjoining commercial suites seven and
eight,'a move which will add 2400
square feet of working space.
Abrams said although details are still
being worked out, the new space
should house bereavement services,
some clinical staff, community relations/ development, and some support
and administrative services. "We want
to keep departments together so we
can maintain functional autonomy
within each department. Right now we
are becoming vastly overcrowded and
have used virtually every available
square inch of space."
It has been just over a year since Hospice of the Chesapeake moved into its
current facility, which is just under
4800 square feet. " I remember when
we moved into this office," says Director of Clinical Services Eileen Lacijan.
"We all thought what are we going to
do with all of this space? And now
there's not enough."

Since last year Hospice's
patient census has nearly
tripled, growing from just
over 30 patients to almost
90 patients. The Bereavement Center has also
shown a significant increase in clients, with
nearly 1800 current clients
compared to 1500 clients
last year. The lack of comfortable working space
prompted the Hospice
Board of Directors to approve an expansion early
this year.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>This collection contains records on President Clinton’s efforts to overhaul the health care system in the United States. In 1993 he appointed First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton to be the head of the Health Care Task Force (HCTF). She traveled across the country holding hearings, conferred with Senators and Representatives, and sought advice from sources outside the government in an attempt to repair the health care system in the United States.
