Dr. Smith Explains—
(Continued from Pago 1)
poratod cities appropriate money
for the support of its local health
unit: yet the personnel also work
outside these incorporated units.
School District Health Units
The 1949 legislature of the Ter
ritory of Alaska, recognizing the
need for a broader base for the
administration of local public
health work, passed the enabling
legislation which permitted the
formation of health districts.
Chapter 118. ACLA 1949. stipu
lates that every community or
settlement outside of incorporat
ed towns in Alaska shall become
a health unit, “and in every such
health unit there shall be a board
of health composed of the presi
dent of the school board and two
citizens selected by the school
board." It further stipulates in
section 1 that wherever practic
able one member of the board of
health shall be a licensed phy
sician. The above applies also to
incorporated cities unless they
provide for the establishment and
maintenance of a health board or
a proper health officer. In every
health unit having no school
board. the Commissioner of
Health is empowered to appoint
three citizens to act as the board
of health.
Section 2 of the act provides
for the formation of health dis
tricts. "Two or more contiguous
health units constituted under the
terms of the preceding section
and/or local boards of health for
contiguous incorporated towns
not constituted a health unit un
der the terms of the preceding
section, may be constituted a
Health District by the Alaska
Board of Health upon the recom
mendation of the Commissioner
of Health. Members of the Board

of Health for such health dis
tricts shall be appointed by the
Alaska Board of Health from res
idents of each health unit and or
incorporated town represented in
the health district in such num
bers and for such periods of time
as may be determined by the Al
aska Board of Health."
Section 3 of the act places all
local boards of health outside of
and within incorporated towns
under the supervision of the
Commissioner of Health and
makes them responsible to him.
Thus the law. in effect, makes
the eehool district a health unit,
and Tnakes it possible, upon the
recommendation of the Commis
sioner of Health, for two or more
contiguous school districts and or
local boards of health to form a
health district.
Altho school district budgets
must be okayed by the Territorial
Board of Education which pays
from 60-90 percent of the total.
Dr. Smith said that a certain per
cent of the salaries are refund
able for health services. He said
that there is a trend for the in
creased use of educational funds
for the work of the public health
nurse who spends a considerable
portion of her time in attending
to school health needs.
More Health Workers
Dr. Smith said he’d like to
see one or two more nurses in
this area and a full time sani
tarian. At the present. Public
Health Nurse Marjorie Myrcn is
the only worker. Her area is i
large one and the population she
serves has increased tremendous
ly since she assumed her duties
here a little less than three years
ago.
