LINDA HAWES CLEVER, M.D.
CHAIRMAN
DEPARTMENT OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
June 13, 1980

Dr. Joshua Lederberg
President

The Rockefeller University
New York, New York 10021

Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I am flattered and fascinated by your request for in-
formation about the Department of Occupational Health
at Pacific Medical Center. I have enclosed a copy of
our brochure and a newspaper article which may answer
some of your questions. It has been a marvelous ex-
perience and opportunity to pioneer---no hospital has
approached problems in the workplace in a similar fash-~
ion. We have a preference for prevention and an ability
to provide comprehensive services. We do everything
from medical surveillance in lead battery plants to
providing trauma decompression for employee victims of

crime! LS
I will be in Washington in July, and New York in October
in case you or others would like to discuss occupational
health. There are many areas which we could cover: re-
search opportunities, ethics, marketing (commerce raises
its ubiquitous head), services rendered, coordination,
labor/management and plaintiff/defense balance. We
offer the same services to our own employees that we
offer to outside unions and companies. Thus, if you are
interested, we can also discuss occupational health for
hospital and research personnel.

Thanks for asking for this information. Please let me
know if I can be of any help!

Cordially,

Linda Hawes Clever, M.D., F.A.C.P.

Chairman, Department of
Occupational Health
