November 27 through December 3, 1988
*****************************
WHEREAS, Gallatin Home Care provides a wide range of needed health
and supportive services to the ill, elderly, disabled and
infirm in their home; and
WHEREAS, the concept of home care is the oldest and most enduring
tradition of health service delivery in the United States;
and
WHEREAS, home care services help preserve one of the country1s most
important social values, keeping families together; and
WHEREAS, Medicare and Medicaid have authorized payments for home
care since 1967 with constantly growing numbers of private
insurers also recognizing the value of supporting such
care; and
WHEREAS, most Americans prefer for themselves and their families to
remain ~nd receive treatment whenever possible in the com-
fort and security of their own homes; and
WHEREAS, there is a significant and growing body of evidence that
home care services stimulate quicker and fuller recoveries
and improvements than comparable services within institu-
tions; and
WHEREAS, it is becoming increasingly evident that home care provides
a cost effective delivery system for high quality, individ-
ualized health services.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Alfred M. Stiff, Mayor of the City of Bozeman,
do hereby proclaim November 27 through December 3, 1988 as
"HOME CARE WEEK"

Home Care Week. Furthermore, the City of Bozeman expresses its sup-
port and appreciation of Gallatin Home Care providers and commends
all the dedicated individuals who have devoted their careers to pro-
viding high quality home care services to its citizens.
SEA L IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have here-
unto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the City of Bozeman,
in the State of Montana, to be af-
fixed at Bozeman, Montana, this

teen Hundred and Eighty-Eight.
