HOSPITAL NOTES


the same as a person. 1t starts
from infancy and develops its diff
ferent services. 1t gains size,
strength, and knowledge, but there
it begins to differ in its similarity
to that of a person. A person
grows to manhood or womanhood
develops strength, knowledge and
after few short years dies and
goes to his or her reward.
A hospital operated by the COM
munity continues to grow, increas-
es it's value to the area it serves
year after year AS new methods
of treatment are developed, new
equipment is invented the modern
/ hospital adds to it's personnel,
trained operators who operate this
equipment. AS new drugs are de-
velOped and proven in the large
/ laboratories our physicians pre-
scribe them for patients. A hospi-
tai should never grow old. It
should never look old, it should al
ways have the appearance of eter-
nal youth.
The governing board should be
changing periodically bringing
in men and women with new ideas
new outlook, plans for the future
The future of the properly bull
and operated hospital is way be-
yond the ken of those working fol
it today.
AS this community increases il
population this hospital must keel
pace with that growth in order tt
properly serve the area with good
up to the minute hospital service.
This then, is a challenge to tn,
folks of lower Kent and SUISSE,
Counties, whether you have a dol
lar or a million this hospital to
gether with your churches an
schools is your obligation to gov
ern, to maintain and to improve
not so that a number of peOpl
f can have jobs, not so that the doc
f tors can have place to work, bu
{ so that our children and thei
children may have available hos
pital service embracing all the lat
f est and best in medical, surgicI
/. and nursing care. That this fa
v cost this community lot of none
[. We all know and we can be sur
that if this hospital is to grow i
size and services it will continu
d to require year after year MOI
d funds for buildings, for new equil
e ment to replace that which
/. worn out or obsolete, but in the f
s nal analysis it will be worth all
costs, all it requires in person;
thought and effort.
