Tompkins County Relocalization Project

[Tompkins County Relocalization Project <tcrp-news AT lists.ibiblio.org>]

Health care has become a far more visible public issue in the year
since TCLocal published Part One of our overview of local health
care resources, "Health Care in an Energy-Constrained
Environment":

http://tclocal.org/2008/10/health_care_in_an_energyconstr.html

In Part Two of the series, "Options for Re-evaluating Care
Resources," Bethany Schroeder turns to a consideration of
challenges that local health care will face in an era of declining
energy inputs, particularly issues relating to transportation,
facilities, and models of care.  You can find the article at

http://tclocal.org/2009/11/health_care_in_an_energyconstr_2.html

People who want to comment on this article or engage Bethany in
discussion should note that the TCLocal web site is specifically
designed to get feedback on these ideas as they are developed.
Please use the comment form at the bottom of the article so that
we can keep all the input in one place.
