Local Medical Official Is Picked for Orleans Post
By Margaret Martin
Times Medical Writer
Dr. Arthur T. Fort, an official
at Louisiana State University
Medical School at Sbreveport,
has been named president of the
New Orleans-based Family
Health Foundation and director
of the Louisiana Family Plan-ning
Program.
He will also serve as profes-sor
of maternal and child health
and family planning at Tulane
University School of Medicine.
Effective Feb. 15 Fort has
resigned his post as professor
and head of the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology at
Confederate Memorial Medical
Center.
In his new positon, Port
replaces Dr. Joseph D- Beasley,
who will assume the post of
c h a i r m an of the board of
directors and chief executive
officer of the Family Health
Foundation.
Dr. Abe Mickal, professor and
chairman of the Department of
Dr. Arthur T. Fort
Obstetrics and Gynecology at
the LSU Medical School in New
Orleans, will become vice presi-dent
of the foundation's board of
directors.
Since coming to Shreveport in
1970, Fort has built the depart-ment
into one of the strongest at
both the medical school and at
Confederate.
Fort told The Times he had to
choose between teaching and
working with the Family Plan-ning
Program. He described the
program as his first love.
Fort was responsible for
bringing the first volunteers to
Confederate, putting them to
work in the Obstetrics and
Gynecology Clinic last summer.
Before serving at the Medical
School and at Confederate, he
was assistant professor of obste-trics
and gynecology and vice
president of the faculty of the
University of Tennessee Medical
School in Memphis.
The Family Health Founda-tion
is a health services and
research developmental group
that works on unmet population
control problems and health
needs in the United States and
overseas, particularly in under-developed
areas.
It also administers the Loui-siana
Family Planning Pro-gram,
which has 148 clinics and
is considered the most success-ful
project of its kind in the
world. In addition, the founda-tion
administers the Model
Cities Health Clinic and the
Teen-age Service in New Or-leans
and the Maternal and
Child Health programs in New
Orleans and Baton Rouge.
