Hospital News

This hospital has had one of the
busiest months in its. life. During
the month we admitted 311 patients
slightly over ten per day. We are
happy to add to our Delaware cen
sus "A boys and girls We also had
complete recovery of IS patients
and d total of 213 who were much
improved.
With the addition of Dr.. KOnzel-
mann to the resident staff the
scope of the laboratory is materi-
ally broadened Plans have been
completed and some of the mate
rial is on the ground for the con-
structiOn of a complete Pathology
Laboratory necessary for the prop
er development of this branch of
service to the community.
The plans for National Hospital
Day, Monday, May y. are being
laid and it is the hope of the board
of directors and the Ladies' AuXil-
iary that all the people in lower
Delaware will keep this day in
mind with the idea of lending aid
in every way possible to all our
hospital facilities in Delaware.
One Of the best reasons, if rea-
son is needed. to forward plans in
every way we can to increase the
size of our hospital is that Lar
ger hospital will be able to offer
health services not now available
because of the lack of room to
house such services. Some of these
services are vital in a community
growing as rapidly in population
as we are in lower Delaware.

medical board on Tuesday. April s
