Mrs. 0ridge Speaker
Al Rotary Club

speaker at the Lexington Rotary
Club Friday. Mrs. bridge spoke on
the Community Hospital and took
the Rotarians through an imaginary
tour through the hospital. M. A.

ed the superintendent of the hospi-
tai.
Mrs. bridge said the Community
Hospital was extremely well equip
ped and the present lack was space.
She told about expansion possible
ties saying that a 45-bed hospital
was needed to take care of the pa
tients in this section. The hospital
now has Is beds.
The Community Hospital has SER
we'd since 1881, when the new build
ing was added. LIST patients. The
daily average Of patients in 1946 was
13. she said. and in 1947 the daily
average was is.
Operating expenses of the hospi-
tai have almost doubled, the speaker
related. The cost per capita patient
in 1910 was $4-85 and by 1947 the
cost had risen to 1888. The total op-
Grating expenses for 1910. she said,
was about $4,000. and by 1947 it
has risen to over $4,000.
The hospital has at present only
four graduate nurses on its staff,
Mrs. bridge said, and could easily
use eight. The largest number OF
nurses it has ever had on its staff
has been six, she said.
A little known fact to the public
is that radium is available to the
public at the Holmes County Com
munity Hospital. The hospital is full
ly equipped and stated to give it

where needed, she said.
The hospital has grown and de-
veloped and the public in general
has accepted the work Of the hospi-
tai in an appreciative and coopera-
