ADH X-Ray Unit Here
On TB Check-Up Program
The Alaska Department of
Health has its X-ray unit here
with Rex Marrow as technician.
The unit is now being used to
x-ray all school children. When
the children are finished, dates
will be announced for the x-ray
of the general public, for every
one from age three and up.
Margaret Swanberg, Public j
Health Nurse, stated that the unit j
was here last year and it is of
great importance that everyone J
take time to have another x-ray
this year. The incidence of tuber
culosis in this area makes it im
portant for everyone to have this
check-up which is free.
Volunteer workers will be
needed to assist and anyone who
has the time may contact Mrs.
Swanberg who will announce the
public schedule next week.
