DAY
OBSERVED HERE
Visitors See What Is Being
Done in City and County
Institutions
IMPROVEMENTS
ARE NOTICED

National Hospital Day in the city
and county hospitals proved a big
success. City officials. including a
delegation of City Council. in re-
sponse to a personal invitation from
the Delaware Hospital, were among
the visitors at that institution. "Open
House" was the rule in all hospitals
of the city. National Hospital Day,
which has become to be observed
generally throughout the country, is
in memory Of Florence Nightingale,
who did much for the establishment
and advancement Of hospitals.
With the doors of all the city and
county hospitals wide open, the pub
lie was given the opportunity to see
what is being done for suffering
humanity.
At the Delaware Hospital, Ply
sicians" and Surgeons and Homeo-
pathic Hospitals a reception com
mittee of nurses and managers of
each institution was at each en-
trance to greet visitors Other
nurses escorted the visitors through
the infirmaries. Following the in
spection the visitors were served re-
freshments on the roof gardens of
the Delaware and the Homeopathic
Hospitals and in the nurses home
of the Physicians and Surgeons
Hospital.
All who made the inspections |
were much impressed with the i'm
that have been made at !
each institution during the past year |
This was especially true at the Della
ware and Homeopathic Hospitals
Little improvement has been made |
At the p. and s.. because of plans
being made for a more modern in
5titution.
A number OF visitors went to
and inspected the County
and State Hospitals there. Generally
he day was voted a big success by
he visitors and arrangements of the
hospitals.
