- There really are many services provided to us by our Federal Government,
- although at times we all have our moments of doubt as to the truth of such
- statements, but it all comes down to knowing where they are and how to obtain
- their benefits. That's why I have decided to include a variety of
- "clearinghouses" in this part of my column each week. A clearinghouse is a
- service that collects all sorts of data and information about an area of
- concern, of some special health problem or condition. They have the telephone
- numbers and addresses of resources and self-help groups, bulletins and
- publications, brochures and information sheets. Its a great way to begin any
- search for help and knowledge, and can hasten the journey to obtaining the
- important facts you may need for an important health decision. Today's
- clearing house information is an extremely important one. The National
- Maternal and Child Health Clearinghouse, 8201 Greensboro Drive, Suite 600,
- McLeen, VA 22102 (telephone 703-821-8955) will provide its information to
- consumers and health professionals alike, and is an address you will want to
- keep for present or future reference.
