HEALTH OF NEW YORK !
IMPROVED BY WOMEN

In a survey OF fifteen hospitals OF
New York city made during August by
the health division OF the National
League for Womans Service to deter
mine the extent of their requirements
>for volunteer women helpers, fourteen
hospitals are reported in urgent need
of the workers. The volunteers are
wanted as aides to both physicians and
nurses, for clerical work, to take
charge Of the information desks, ana
for follow-up visiting in the bones of
patients discharged by the hospital
The Institutions surveyed were the
Fables hospital. Bellevue. The Infan-
torium Lying-ln. Mount Sinai, Post
Graduate, Roosevelt Woman's hospi-
tall Ruptured and Crippled. De Milt
Dispensary. Harlem, New York Dis
pensary. New York Infirmary, Wander
hilt Clinic and West Side Dispensary,
At Bellevue the woman now in
charge >of the Out Patients depart
ment, OF the General Medical Clinic for
Children is A league member who has
given her services in this position since
1917. In she clinic, children from
six weeks to twelve years old are
treated. The volunteer work consists
of taking the temperatures. weights
and histories of patients on charts, ana
assisting the doctors in general way.
Twelve volupteers can be used daily
in the. clinic.
The New York Dispensary and the
New York Infirmary need women for
the follow-up visiting in the homes
Several of the students completing
the course in occupational therapy
given by the league are serving as
volunteer teacherE for both adults
and; children in the day camp or the
roof of the Vanderbilt Clinic. Their
success in interesting the patients has
created a greater demand for them,
In addition. at least four other volun-
teers arc required daily.
The immediate requirement of the
Harlem Dispensary is some one daily
to take charge of the information
desk. About 1--WE workers are the
daily requirements of the West Side
T'ispensary.
The Health division rapidly Is as
suring many responsibilities for the
promotion of better health in the
community. First experience with the
sending of the volunteer workers to
the hospitals was gained by the league
during the war. Doctors and nurses
went to France in great numbers and
their departure threw A great burden
OF work on those. OF them who re-
manned at home. To relieve this strain
in small way. women aides were sent
the hospitals. where they assumed
many of the details. leaving only the
important work for the physicians and
nurses
Association with the hospitals has
shown women the amount.of aid these
public institutions need with the result
they are continuing to give their as
sistanceTTexen- though the emergency |
OF war is past.
