Scope and Contents

Sub-subgroup 13 contains records documenting Commissioner Cimino’s role in the Department of Health, Health and Hospitals Corporation and work with the Health Services Administration during 1973. The files pertaining to the Department of Health focus on maternal and child health, commissioner meetings, sanitary inspections, school health, and statistics on reportable diseases. This group of records contains communications between Cimino and Health Services Administrator Gordon Chase and HSA staff. The HHC material covers Cimino’s time as a member and occasional chairman of the board. It deals with the fiscal health of the agency, and refers to costs, invoices, and services for both the corporation as a whole and specific hospitals. There is also material related to medical and professional affairs, community relations, personnel, and legislative issues facing the corporation. By and large the material refers to general operational issues, though much of the discussion is dominated by the financial crisis. This sub-subgroup contains correspondence, memos, and reports as well as newsletters.
