The purpose of this paper was to trace the development of the Neighborhood Health Center Program supported under section 314(e) of the Public Health Service Act, as amended, and to extract from this project grant experience some implications for the best future use of federal health services project grant funds. These implications were drawn in the context of emerging federal and private sector initiatives in the areas of financing, organization, and delivery of health services, such as health maintenance organizations and national health insurance. Although the paper was presented 2 years ago, the authors feel the conclusions in the paper remain germane today. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
