SM Sophomores
Visit Kaiser Steel
The sophomore class of the
Loma Linda University School
of Medicine recently visited
the Kaiser Steel Company
plant in Fontana, California, as
a part of their course in pre
ventive medicine and public
health.
They were accompanied by
( Frank R. Lemon and Richard
T. Walden, both associate pro
fessors of preventive medicine
and public health.
" An important part of pre
ventive medicine involves oc
cupational and industrial medi
cine," says Dr. Lemon, " and
because there are no experts in
that field at the University, we
have borrowed from Kaiser
Steel, which has generously
helped us for the past five
years."
Dr. Hal Lewis, medical di
rector of the company's occu
pational and medical programs,
lectures to the students each
year.
The purpose of their visit to
the plant is to see on- the- job
health hazards and medical fa
cilities.
Dr. Lewis also participates
in clinical conferences on oc
cupational disease problems
here at the University.
