Improving America’s Health (1959)
America’s health has been greatly improved since the turn of the century. The film shows how expanded health and medical services have increased life expectancy through the conquest of communicable diseases, and points out the importance of education and individual responsibility. We learn that America’s health problem today lies in the area of non-communicable diseases.
