UNDERSTANDING OF
HOSPITALS VIEWED

The public knows little of what
goes on behind the scenes in
maintaining, operating and even
building hospitals, Laurel Kiwan-
ans were informed at their meet
ing Wednesday evening by Harry
c.. Wheeler, administrator of the
Billings Deaconess hospital and
president of the Montana Hos
pital association, whose subject
was "Public Understanding of
Hospitals" Hospitals are Amer
ica's fifth largest big business,
with all the attending perplexi-
ties of insufficient personnel for
operation and ever-increasing
costs.
Since 1941, the year of Pearl
Harbor, trends have changed in
hospitals. When the armed forces
absorbed many nurses the hospi-
tails resorted to use of semi
trained people, embracing the
cadet-nurse program financed by
the government, while %contending
with the fact that 65 per cent
of nurses marry or otherwise
leave the profession in the first
year following graduation. Be-
cause of the conditions enumerat-
ed and because there were many
fewer doctors in civilian practice,
patients were concentrated in hos
pitfalls as a mea for the few
to provide as good care as pos
sible for the many. The crowded
hospitals, unable to buy new
equipment or to expand to meet
the new demands being made
upon them, in some instances
gained financially for the mo-
ment, though others did not.
Now that the war is over, the
trend continues for greater use
of hospitals, and along with this
is the upward spiraling of costs.
AS an example, sutures formerly
costing $25 per gross now cost
$45 to S55, with many other items
proportionately higher. In 1947
firms supplying dressing mater
ials gave notice of W rises
during the year.
There has been decrease in the
number of recruits for the nurs-
ing profession, the cadet program
collapsed, and now the hospitals
use many graduates for work that
was largely performed formerly
by the students. AS a conse-
quence, 70 per cent of all the
hospitals in the United States
operated in the red in 1947.
Answering the natural ques-
ton, How can hospitals be in the
red and keep going? the speaker
said that many in the two sea-
board areas make up the differ
ence with income from endow-
ments or by using money intend
ed for capital investment for
operational costs. In this area
the endowments are nil and it
