mm C HSA: m Need CO ose Lake Satellites What Just One Person Can Do Hospital plins to spend up to $8,5 million on satellite out- patient faclities in western Lake counv may be a bad inveslmentifitr the hospitals and are ndjmpeded to improve the healttibf the community. The Healtw>vstems Agency for Kane,-J L#e and McHenry counties |HEA-KLM) arrived at this# conclusion after reviewing/ a staff analysis of physlcial I availability and hospital jjment-origin data. The ban planning agency's board of directors voted to go on recoM b opposition to each of the tfiree facilities proposed by StJ Therese, Condell Memorial and Highland Park hospital. The projects have, received "non-reviewable" construction permits from the State a Illinois. Had the permit request* been submitted after July,-! 1979, each hospital's proposal would have been subject to a full review by HSA- KLM and the state. The HSA report criticized the emergency room facilities propsoed by St. Therese and Condell. Current philosophy and practice calls for paramedic units to stabilize emergency cases at the scene before transporting them to the nearest full service hospital emergency room. Outpost emergency rooms are contrary to this philosophy in that they may delay patient access to complete diagnosis and treatment facilities. The report states that a hospital's service area changes over time and is related to the office location of its medical staff. Thus, the construction of outpost physician's offices appears to be an effort by the hospitals to maintain and perhaps expand their market areas. HSA-KLM is concerned that the net effect of the three proposed projects will be to cancel out each hospital's effort, to maintain or' increase their share of patient admissions. Therefore, from the hospital's perspective, the construction and operating costs may well be wasted. From the larger community perspective, HSA- KLM "cannot agree that these projects are needed to improve the health status of the com­ munity,or to improve ac­ cessibility to services." Existing clinics and physician offices appear to be able to meet current and foreseeable future demand for health care services. The proposed outpatient clinics and physician office buildings might be useful in a t t r a c t i n g a d d i t i o n a l physicians to the area. Assuming that these additiohal doctors admit their patients to the parent hospital, the result could be an increased number of patients from communities surrounding the new outpatient facilities. However, the report finds no need for additional doctors, citing population and physician count data which indicate "an abundant supply of primary care physicians throughout Lake county." National health planning guidelines indicate there should be no less than one primary care physician (PCP) for every 3,500 people. (Primary care physicians include general and family practitioners, ob­ stetricians-gynecologists, pediatricians, and internists). In Lake county the overall ratio (based on 1977 population estimates and a 1978 physician count) was 1 PCP for every 1,675 people. The ratio for northwest Lake county was 1 PCP for every 2,478 people ; for southwest Lake county 1 PCP for every 2,336 people. According to the permits issued by the Illinois Health Facilities Planning board, St. Therese hospital proposes to construct a 8,352 square foot emergency-outpatient facility in the Lake Villa area, at a cost of $1,557,000. Included will be x- ray equipment (one radiographic-fluroscopic unit), four examining rooms, two minor surgery rooms and a lab for basic procedures. Con­ struction is now underway. Condell Memorial hospital proposes to construct a 12,000 square foot emergency- outpatient facility with physician office space in the Round Lake Beach area (about 2 miles from St. Therese's proposed facility) at a cost of $2,505,000. Included will be four treatment rooms, five emergency beds, one surgical area, a stat lab and x-ray equipment (one radiographic- fluroscopic unit). Highland Park hospital proposed to construct a 40,000 square foot physicians office building in Long Grove, at a cost of $4,498,700. This Will house 35 physicians; x-ray, pharmacy and laboratory facilities. If Kiss Me, Kate" Opens A farmer in Japan claims to have created thei world's first odor-free garlic. Ho w -TOST) • The 'Dimensions' of Faith No one has ever seen an atom. All that scientists can do is guess what one looks like. There is an outmoded theory which compares a single atom to our solar system with a sun (nucleus) and revolving planets (electrons) and that helps a little. Most of us un­ derstand a thing better when we can picture it, and yet we know there are certain things that just can't be pictured; abstract things such as love, heaven, God. Isaac Newton's laws were all based on every day experience, common sense. What goes up must come down. In post- Newtonian physics, however, we entered the subatomic order of reality where everything is too microscopic even for the most sophisticated in­ struments. Albert Einstein was the first one to discover that our familiar rules of geometry and the laws of Newton are valid only in a limited framework. Newton and his successors saw the universe as a huge machine with varying parts in motion. That picture works only when you conceive matter as the thing to be moved and energy as the thing that moves it. Einstein discovered that matter and energy are merely different forms of the same thing, E equals MC2. No one can picture it, but it's true nevertheless. In matters of faith we are also dealing with knowledge about real things which cannot be seen. The person who held up a three-leaf clover at­ tempting to explain the Blessed Trinity helped the human mind in its struggle to understand God. ~ Knowing about a spiritual presence is possible without actually seeing that presence. This is called faith knowledge, or simply, faith. Just as we observe the visible effects of invisible subatomic in­ teraction, so too by faith we can observe the effect of God's love though we never see it. Knowing God and living as though His Tove is a reality is not something one does automatically. The leap of faith changes a person's entire life. The effects of such a leap are visible in terms of joy, peace and love. Knowing that you receive God's love and transmit it is a high form of human awareness. Higher even than that of a scientist such as Ernest Rutherford who in 1911 com­ pared the atom (which he had never seen) to a microscopic solar system. Higher than that of all the scientists combined because they are merely commenting on the shape, size and interaction of things. Albert Einstein was a man of science and a man of faith. His analysis of man's destiny is familiar to the "faithful." Listen as he speaks: "Man is here for the sake of other men...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy." This is wisdom not science.
