Voluntary effort has goal in sight.

The success of the Voluntary Effort can be credited to the movement's broad-based coalition and the commitment shown at the grass roots level. But much remains to be done, and the VE is gearing up to meet the challenge. In 1979, emphasis will be placed on: a greater role and involvement for hospital trustees, increased efforts by hospitals to develop better ways to inform physicians about the costs of tests and services, and the need to create an even greater awareness and commitment to the VE at the grass roots level.
