achieved this level of medical eff
ficiency," says Admiral w. H. P.
Blandy, U.S.N. (Ret.), president of
the Foundation, "are a tribute to
American ingenuity and coopera-
ton"
Admiral Blandy, who commanded
the joint army-navy force which
conducted the atomic bomb tests at
Bikini, said that where the chief
problem has been the lack of doc
tor, citizens have banded together
to create conditions which would at
tract a young physician. In other
communities both a doctor and a
clinic or hospital have been needed
and in such cases it has been pos
sible to raise funds to erect COM
munity- facilities offering the
necessary equipment for the prac-
tice of medicine in its most modern
form.
TYPICAL OF SUCH endeavors by
the admiral was the hospital
built in Ennis, Mont, by the people
of the community. In order to at
tract doctor to head the new hos
pital, the town arranged for suita-
BILE living quarters for the physician
and his family, and raised the
money for both the hospital build
ing and equipment.
In this particular case, before the
building and equipping of the hos
pital was an accomplished fact, an
automobile accident caused six pa
tients to be brought to the unfin-
ished facility. Citizens turned from
fund raising tasks to gathering the
necessary beds and other equip
ment to care for the patients. For
tunately, the doctor had arrived
some time before and had set up
practice in the town. Previous to his
arrival, Ennis had been five years
without a doctor.
The town of Okarche, Okla, popu-
lation 500, is another example of
community enterprise described by
the Foundation president Towns
people built and equipped a $118,-
900 hospital, raising the money by
soliciting funds, by voting a $4,000
bond issue and by selling prepaid
hospital certificates. Inn addition,
they devised a plan of dedicating
memorial rooms, which brought in
enough money to reach the final
goal.
The first hospital to be built in
Washington County, Kans., is the
Hanover Hospital and Clinic, one
story steel, brick and concrete
structure with all up-to-date facili-
ties and ten beds us in an emer-
gency). 1t was financed locally by
a bond issue of $35, GOO in an area
of eight square miles designated
for tax purposes as the Hanover
hospital district. 1t actually serves
much greater area. Donations
from individuals and organizations
such as the American Legion total
ed another $4,000, which was used
for equipment.
The doctor who heads this new
facility, Daniel S. Roccaforte, MD,
came to the small community from
Omaha because he preferred to
practice in a small community.
When interviewed by a Foundation
representative, DR.. Roccaforte ex-
planned that he was able to move to
Hanover only because there were
in Hanover the tools and facilities
he needed to practice.
ANY community which is in need
of doctor or hospital might profit
from the splendid examples set by
these American communities" Ad-
miral Blandy said. In many cases,
medical care community problems
which seem insoluble can be solved
readily by community initiative and
the assistance of experts who can
give guidance on technical aspects.
