The August 1968 issue of HealthPAC Bulletin highlights the activism of the Committee of Interns and Residents (CIR) as they negotiate for better salaries and working conditions in New York City's municipal hospitals. Dr. David Goldman, president of CIR, emphasizes the disparity in pay compared to other city employees and the need for reforms to improve hospital staffing and patient care. The issue also discusses the Student Health Project, which engages health science students in community health initiatives, particularly in low-income areas like the South Bronx, and the establishment of the North East Neighborhood Association Health Center aimed at providing comprehensive care in underserved neighborhoods.
