A sample of 54 Columbia Point families was found to have had a total of 200 hospital days in the year before the center opened. Two years later, because of better preventive care, this had dropped to 40 days-an 80% reduction. Hospitalization, at $50 to $100 a day in true costs, is the most expensive part of medical care. For these 54 families alone, the second-year saving...
