FOREWORD.
The purpose of this directory is to make available information con
cerning local child-health agencies. Lists of hospitals and dispen
saries dealing with the sick, publications descriptive of national childwelfare organizations, and, for a few localities, directories of local
organizations, including those dealing with child health, are now
easily obtainable. It is hoped that the need for additional general
information concerning local child-hygiene agencies may be met by
this directory of local public and private agencies actively engaged
in the promotion of child health through maternity care, infant care,
and the care of the child of preschool age.
The agencies, included in this directory serve States, counties, and
urban areas of 10,000 or more inhabitants.1 In order to avoid dupli
cation of the material already published in local directories, the childhealth agencies contained in these are simply fisted with references
to the published directories for further information.
The material was compiled by means of a questionnaire sent to all
agencies whose names could be obtained from the following sources:
State and municipal directors of child hygiene divisions; State,
county, and city health officers; division directors of the American
Red Cross, local Red Cross chapters; the Children’s Bureau mailing
list and its bulletin, “ A Tabular Statement of Infant Welfare Work
by Public and Private ^Agencies” ; local directories and local private
organizations.
The directory includes 861 agencies. An additional 311 agencies
replied to the questionnaire but reported that they were not engaged
in child-health activities and so have not been included. No replies
were received from 154 agencies and 62 questionnaires were returned
unclaimed.
The directory is arranged in the following manner:
(1) Agencies arranged by State and city.
(2) Alphabetical list, by States, of agencies serving State-wide
areas, county-wide areas, urban areas, and both county
and urban areas.
1 Information concerning national organizations m ay be obtained from The Digest of Programs of
National Organizations Carrying on Some Phase of Child Welfare (containing detailed information con
cerning 250 affiliated societies) published b y the American Child Hygiene Association, 532 Seventeenth
Street, Washington, D. C.
Handbook of Social Resources of the United States, published b y the American R ed Cross Washing
ton, D . C.
