Abstract:
George Hatem, the son of poor Lebanese immigrants, moved with his family from Buffalo, NY to Greenville in the 1920s. Attending local high school and U.N.C. Chapel Hill, George studied to become a doctor. With the coming of the depression and its resulting lack of jobs for those in the medical profession, George went to Lebanon to attend medical school at the American University in Beirut. Following his graduation from both American University and the University of Geneva in Switzerland, Dr. Hatem traveled to China where he helped in the eradication of venereal disease in Shanghai and Beijing. During the Communist Revolution, he examined and made acquaintance with Mao Tse - tung, who made Hatem an advisor to the Chinese Ministry of Public Health. Over the next 55 years, Dr. Hatem made China his home, returning occasionally to Greenville to visit with family and friends. Through his efforts to eradicate venereal disease and leprosy in China, he was the recipient of several awards including the Albert Lasker Public Service Award. Dr. George Hatem died in 1988 in Beijing following a ten - year battle with cancer.

Abstract:
Managed care in North Carolina is evolving into two levels of service - rural and urban. In urban counties having employer-paid plans and multiple hospitals, HMO membership is highest. In rural counties, like Gates and Tyrrell, membership is insignificant. Counties are ranked by the number of physicians per 10,000 population served. Orange County ranks first with 86.4 physicians per 10,000 and Pitt third with 40.7. Twenty-five counties have 6.5 physicians or fewer per 10,000.

Abstract:
Talent was present; absent was funding. In a campus meeting, Senator Burr heralded Johnson and Johnson’s offer to help ECU fulfill medical missions like curing diabetes. A research university springing from a teacher’s training school, then, may seem off the beaten path. Realizing this intent—improving the quality of life—made it obvious ECU has stayed on course.
