Peter Muckerman announced at a February meeting of the Community Health Council of People’s Clinic that he would be resigning as Administrator at the termination of the Bi-State Regional Medical Program grant in June. He left St. Louis on June 15 for a summer in the western Colorado Rockies, before moving on to the West Coast. Peter was hired as Administrator in October 1973. Prior to that he worked as a volunteer with the Clinic since October 1972 when the project was created. He worked as Project Coordinator until the Clinic opened on June 15, 1972.
In the first half of 1973 his work was primarily oriented to planning and developing more effective systems of management. These efforts culminated in a decision by the clinic staff, on August 18, 1973, to formally organize the Clinic, replacing the Coordinating Committee with a Board of Directors and a salaried Administrator.
Succeeding Peter as Administrator is Christine Smith, formerly Clinic Office Manager. Christine, has worked with the Clinic as a volunteer since it opened in 1972. Last September, she joined the salaried staff as Office Manager, under a grant by BiState Regional Medical Program.
Christine has served on the Clinic Board of Directors and has extensive experience in medical social work. She formally assumed the role of Administrator on June 9, 1975.
