Dr.. Walter C. Corey of Cor
ey's hospital and DR.. Dale j.
Hawk, president of the Geau-
ga county medical society today
released the following letters
in support of the Geauga hos
pital campaign for an 81 bed,
modern fully equipped hospital
to care for the residents OF
Geauga county on a twenty
four hour, seven day-a-Week
schedule.
We publish these letters in
their entirety here:
An Open Letter
To The People of Geauga
Corey hospital came in t o
being soon after I came to
Geauga county in 1925. 1t was
born of necessity and has sur
vived through adversely for al
most thirty years. The first ba-
bies born here have matured
and now have children of their
own. At the present rate we
expect that four hundred ba-
bies will have been born dur
ing the year Of 1855. That is a
lot of babies.
Less than half Of our pat
tents are maturity cases. One
night recently in our tWenty-one
bed hospital (both buildings } =.
We had thirty adults and ten
new born infants. We could
have had more, but ran out of
cots and room. We believe we
have demonstrated that Geau-
ga county does need a larger
hospital
I wish to pay tribute to the
doctors for their fine cooper
alton over the years an d to all
the nurses for their devotion
way beyond the call of duty"
in many trying and difficult
times. We have been here and
of girls who have started their
training here and whose ser
vices have cheered so many
patients. 1t takes a big staff
for even a small hospital -
and to, all we are indebted
for they have all Joined to
gether to keep the hospital q
place where "the interest of
the patient comes first"
It has been a privilege to
serve the community and the
has been ample reward. We
wish the new hospital success.
and as soon as this dream cf
so many is relied, Corey hos
pital land I will both retire. It
takes a lot of loving care to
keep a hospital functioning pro-

MEDICAL SOCIETY
An Open Letter
To The People of Geauga


1t has been evident for many
years that a hospital has beer
needed in eauga county
which would enable local anC
county general practitioners tC
give medical care to their pat,
tents without restrictions. TAX.
ing patients out of the county
10 another county usually re,
suits in the eStrangement in
the relationship between patient
and your family doctor to the
detriment of both.
Several attempts have been
made by local physicians to
fill this need with madeShift
private hospitals established in
OLD residences, but for one rea-
son or another these hospitals
were not permanent eXcetp the
local Corey hospital. Construct
ion of an independent hospital
in Geauga county has been dis
cuSSed by a number of citi-
zenS in the years gone by,
but the plans never got beyond
The talking stage. Because of
the lack of hospital facilities
available to physicians in pri-
vate' practice, it became in
creaSlngly difficult to attract
general practitioners to this
generalarea.
Although many people in thes
area dep n d e d for h e +
medical care on the staff of
Cleveland hospitals and clinics
many citizens felt the need of
a more simple and accessible
form of medical care such as
is best given by the family
physician. 1t is evident that a
community hospital is essen
tial to correct this existing
situation.
The Geauga County Medi =
cal society is 100 percent be-
cry practlclng physician in this
locality or any locality in the
world knows that his practice
of medicine is limited to his
facilities. A hospital in a COM
is as important to gu
guard your health and the heal
tn of your loved ones as is a
police department to guard you
your person and property or
the church to guide your very
soul.
Let us unite as one, get be-
hind this most important pro-
ject with everything we have
to boost this eXtremel yempor-

AGAIN WE TURN to hoping that the new Governor
will not be beset with such ideas which only tend to becloud
and c~ompicate matters. He will start from scratch, as it were,
and be in a position to chart his course as he sees fit. And
while we are hoping, let US hope that his period of briefing
in Washington also took into account the fact that a major
portion of his job will be to deal with human being and their
welfare That can be very different from being head Of other
