Abstract: The findings of this study suggest that the addition of treatment capability to well baby stations in otherwise underserved areas provided an increment to available health care services that was readily accepted by the consumers utilizing these facilities. In the relatively short time following the addition of treatment services a substantial proportion of consumers came to regard these facilities as a usual source of care. A high degree of awareness of the new service was found, and this source of primary care was rapidly accepted in the areas where there were few alternative providers.
