Drive for
Hospital
Come November, the people
of Geauga will at last have the
long awaited opportunity Of Sc
curing for their very own :
a modern, fully equipped and
stated hospital to care for
their families, themselves, re-
lativeS and neighbors.
The site for this hospital
has already been obtained. 1t
is located in the center of Gea-
uga county between route A
and Aquilla road, south of May
field. The land consists of nine
acres with access both east
and west of the property.
Plans presently proposed pro-
vide for IT beds, complete sur
gerry, pediatric nursing and
maternity departments plus
twenty-four emergency rooms,
x-ray and complete life-saving
equipment ready to serve at
moments notice. Doctors will
maintain "around-the-clock"
staffs to assure the best pos
sible care for the sick and in
jured. Nurses will be con-
stantly on duty for the patients
comfort and care.
DOCTORS FROM Cleveland
and other cities are waiting
for the moment when a hospi-
tai can be made ready for the
care of Geauga residents. They
want to come to this county
- if adequate facilities can
be provided for their patients
welfare. Until such facilities
are provided they must
continue to serve in distant ar,
cas- only.
AS soon as Geauga's hospital
is completed - relatives and
friends of the sick and injured
- will not have to travel miles
away from home to be with
those they love sometimes
making a daily trip for many
weeks, before a loved one is
we'll enough to return home
Not only will this be easier
for both patient and family but
it means a substantial savings
in time nd money too. Trave
expense, room nd board neal
the hospital, long distance tele
phone calls and similar eXpen
SeS will be eliminated.
