New Detroit, Inc. Collection Records, 1967-1975 232 linear feet Accession # 660 DALNET # OCLC # On August 1, 1967, immediately following the Detroit riot, Michigan Governor George Romney, Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh and J. L. Hudson department store chain president Joseph L. Hudson, Jr. announced the formation of the New Detroit Committee (as it was originally called), a citizens’ coalition comprised of a cross-section of community leaders committed to finding solutions to the problems that had spawned that summer’s violence and destruction. New Detroit not only serves as a forum for identifying urban problems, but also, by providing financial and technical assistance to grass roots community development programs and to a multitude of New Detroit-initiated projects, promotes strategies to reduce them. The organization’s work is divided among several task forces and subcommittees focusing on a wide range of issues: racial and ethnic discrimination, unemployment and job training, minority business development, inadequate health care and housing, drug abuse, substandard education, police harassment, family assistance and child development. The papers of New Detroit, Inc. consist of correspondence, reports, minutes, clippings, speech material, publications, surveys, and project proposals related to the administration and programs of the organization.

  • Congress to Decide on Five Michigan

    Congress to Decide on Five Michigan

    Congress to Decide on Five Michigan Hospitals’ Ability to Expand Local Hospital Delivers Care and Physician Training in Underserved Community as State Braces for Increased Patient Need, Physician Shortage Warren, Michigan (January 25, 2012) – Southeast Michigan Surgical Hospital is keeping a close eye on the Congressional Conference Committee to H.R. 3630. This legislation may provide relief for physician‐ owned hospitals which are currently prohibited from expanding to meet patient need. This piece of legislation will be among the first priorities for Congress as it heads back into session this month. The hospital, which is located in one of Michigan’s most medically underserved areas, is the home of the nation’s first podiatric surgical residency program as well as a specialty clinic that provides care to 350‐ 400 patients each month. Yet it is prohibited from expanding in the future to meet patient demand if relief from Section 6001 of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in not made. The House passed a bill which would provide such relief but the final outcome will be dependent on decisions by the Conference Committee. “The U.S. is facing a diabetes epidemic, so the need for podiatric care is dramatically increasing,” says Dr. Kyle Sundblad, director of podiatric medical education at Southeast Michigan Surgical Hospital. “Currently, the number of podiatric specialists in this country is too small to keep up with future patient need. That’s why our residency program, which provides advanced training to recent podiatric medical school graduates, is so important.” A study by Michigan State University estimates the state will face a shortage of 4,400 primary care physicians and 4,000 specialists by 2020.
