PG. 4- PLAI NDEALER- WED. MAY 14, 1969 Service To Patients Hospital's "Life Blood" All the excellent equipment, fine hospital facilities, and trained people mean little unless the most vital ingredient for patient care is present, Bert Hanson, administrator at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, said in evaluating patient care at the county- wide hospital. "Service to the patients is the life blood of our hospital's care for patients. In Memorial hospital, new ideas and new equipment help make our hospital better than ever but nothing will replace the personal concern." One characteristic which is unique to Memorial hospital is of significant value to patients, Hanson said in a National Hospital Week interview. "Many hospitals throughout the nation find themselves depending cm volunteers for some services given patients by people in bedside contact with patients, but at Memorial hospital we are still fortunate to be able to have our registered nurses give most of the patient care in the finest tradition of the nursing profession." Hanson revealed. MAIL PROJECT PREVIEW '69 APPLICATIONS United Cerebral Palsy of Blackhawk Region, Inc., which embraces the ten northern counties of Illinois, has announced that applications for the annual Project Preview program are now in the mail to all high schools and junior colleges in Illinois. Mrs. John Boehm, president of U.C.P. of Blackhawk region, explained that Project Preview is a one-week program of orientation concerning special education, the needs in the field, opportunities, responsibilities, specialties, etc. These programs are intended for a wide range of students who are potential candidates for undergraduate work in the field of special education. Students who are freshmen, sophomores or juniors in high school, and in the upper half of their class, are eligible, as well as first and'second year students in the junior colleges. All applicants should forward their applications prior to June 15, to Norman Rawson, coordinator, Project Preview Advisory committee, United Cerebral Palsy of Illinois, 715 E. Edwards street, Springfield, 111., 62703. Program dates for Project Preview '69 at Northern Illinois university are July 14 through 19 and at Illinois State university at Normal, July 20 through 25. Only 100 applicants will be accepted throughout Illinois. All expenses are paid for the student with the exception of transportation to and from the University. Living facilities will be in college dormitories and all activities, academic and social, will be arranged by the faculty. It is hoped by United Cerebral Palsy association that the students will respond to this program. Statistics show that over 50,000 handicapped youngsters in the city of Chicago alone, will have to be provided an education beginning in July, 1969. "Service by registered nurses remains the key to patient comfort, improved patient morale and quicker patient improvement. This centers in dayto- day contact with the registered nurse. Other people are competent, but an R.N. at the bedside - an R.N. who shows she cares - is a form of medicine nothing can replace." One way Memorial hospital is able to provide this extra asset is a good staff of trained nurses' aides who can help with non-professional duties. Also, the hospital has a large staff of registered nurses. In fact, two-thirds of the employees are in the nursing department, including full and part-time registered nurses, practical nurses and nurses' aides. The numerous hours of volunteer assistance given "by members of the Woman's auxiliary includes staffing and operating the snack shop, distributing reading material, and performing personal services for patients. Additionally, Memorial hospital keeps department members constantly up-to-date on health care developments and what can be done to improve the fulfillment of nursing responsibilities. National Hospital Week helps call attention to the community leadership role hospitals are undertaking, and nowhere is this more evident than at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County, where the board's program for expansion includes personal attention by trained personnel as the cornerstone for patient care. mm WESTERN OPEN TICKETS b Jack Nicklaus will defend his Western Open crown- against the stars of pro golf at famous Midlothian Country Club on June 5, 6,7,8.
