Dr. DeMaurice Moses, director of the Hilltop Multi-Service Center Well Baby Clinic, listens to the heartbeat of one-year-old Peter Elliott at the clinic held in the Tacoma Community House, 1311 So. M St., on January 3, 1968. Peter's mother, Mrs. William Elliott, reassures him by holding his hand. Well Baby Clinics made it possible for parents to monitor their babies' health at little or no-cost. Mrs. Elliott made regular trips to the clinic for little Peter's checkups and immunizations. Future expansion of the Well Baby Clinic services would include "in-home" service to help parents who had difficulty transporting their children, ages up to 5, to designated Well Baby Clinics.
