The Inter-University Labor Education Committee created the Health Plan Consultants

laborers in the Los Angeles region. The Los Angeles County Medical Association
(LACMA) was one of the groups who participated in this endeavor. The Committee on
Multiphasic Screening was created to coordinate the physicians' activities regarding
the screenings. The group conducted health screenings of employees and members of
participating companies and unions.
Other participants in this endeavor include, but are not limited to: California
Medical Association; University California, Department of Industrial Relations; Los
Angeles County Heart Association; Los Angeles Tuberculosis and Health Association;
Welfare Planning Council, Los Angeles Region; and International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers, Local Union 1710.

The collection contains manuscripts, correspondence and ephemera. The manuscripts consist of
36 items arranged in alphabetical order by author. The material was created by the
Health Plan Consultants Committee, the Committee on Multiphasic Screening and groups
and individuals involved in research on multtiphasic screenings. The correspondence

contains letters written by doctors and administrators involved in the multiphasic
screening program. The ephemera consists of 29 items related to research into
mutltiphasic screening and general health topics.
