Kentucky Makes Extensive Heart Examination Of Children 
A total of 40 children have been examined in the month since the opening of the Kentucky Children's Heart Clinic in Louisville, according to Dr. Joseph A. Little, medical director of the clinic. Of these, five have come from outside Louisville.
The new heart clinic, located at the Kentucky Treatment Center on the State Fairgrounds, is sponsored jointly by the Kentucky State Department of Health and the Kentucky Heart Association. It is the only heart clinic in Kentucky at this time for children. The age limit is 15 years. 
Dr. Robert Hansen, director of the bureau of Preventive Medical Services, and Dr. Cathryn R. Handelman, director of the Division of Maternal and Child Health, are medical coordinators of the program. 
To be admitted to the clinic, a child must be referred by his physician and must have an appointment in advance, Dr. Little said. The physician should write the Division of Heart Disease Control authorizing it to make the appointment for the Thursday afternoon clinics. 
The Kentucky Heart Association is furnishing transportation within the city of Louisville and is meeting patients coming from out-of-town by bus or train. Transportation to Louisville is at the patient's own expense. 
The purpose of the clinic is for diagnosis of any type of heart disease and for follow-up care of children with rheumatic fever. The Louisville clinic is designed primarily to serve the population of Jefferson and adjoining counties. There is no charge for its services.
