Dear Friends
    Judy wonders about the numbers of private pratice LCs in other cities.
    In  Philadelphia, one of the largest hospitals has been advertising for a 
LC for at least a year. At least one other hospital is in desparate need of 
LCs. Some home care agencies don't have LCs to send to see mothers, which is 
particularly disturbing as there are 4 different insurances that will pay for 
home visits. An out-patient center may have finally gained a LC to be on staff, 
after seeking one for over a year.
    There are very few LCs that will make home visits within the city; there 
are more in the suburbs.
    warmly,
