• Health Services Department Jobs and Personnel Listing

The Medical Department had responsibility for maintaining everyone’s health. Jonestown’s population of about a thousand people ranged from newborn infants to elderly seniors, with diverse needs to be met far away from regular medical hospital support. Under the responsibility of Marceline Jones and Phyllis Bloom (Chaikin), the department was staffed by Temple members who were trained and qualified in the health fields.

The main parts of the medical unit were housed in four buildings clustered near the kitchen and Troolie huts.

Teaching Nursing at Port Kaituma: Jonestown nurses and personnel taught classes to local people several times a month. Phyllis Bloom planned the curriculum for the classes.

Medical / Specialist / Dental  Services in Georgetown and Caracas: For health problems beyond the scope of care in Jonestown, people were taken out specially for health consultations and medical care. Most of the visits that people made to Georgetown were health related. When Georgetown was not sufficient, people were flown to Caracas, Venezuela.
