J Inaugurate hotline for ex-POW's The Veterans Administration inaugurated a special toll-free --UVI - • f - .•>•«( tlit. -veicpuuiic uuuitiiauuu iiuuuic for former prisoners of war1 recently. The hotline has been established for ex-POW's to inform the VA if they feel they are not being recognized as ex- POW's at VA medical centers or regional offices, or if they feel their treatment is not consistent with the intent of the Prisoners of War Health Care Benefits Act of 1981. r The Act broadened VA's authority to provide health care for ex-POW's and also liberalized rules for determining whether certain medical con­ ditions can be considered ser- vice-connected. /The 24-hour toll-free number, 800-821-8139, is available to over 93,000 ex-POW's nationwide, and will be staffed by a select group of POW specialists from the Washington, D.C., regional) office during regular business hours (8 a.m.-4:30 p.m. $ST). After-hours and weekend callers may leave a recorded message on the hotline. The new information hotline will supplement the existing toll- free services provided for all veterans to VA regional offices nationwide, and it will also complement the ex-POW coordinators assigned at all 172 VA medical centers. Hospital in forefront ¥ of expansion transition immunity As the role of the commi hospital expands to take care of acutely ill patients and to teach patients skills needed to maintain health and avoid disease, Memorial Hospital is in the forefront of this transition. "Memorial Hospital is committed to utilize its resources to nfcip meet ihe" health care needs in the com­ munities it serves," sfudHE^ank Greenwald, hospital bokrd president, as he reviewed the past year's achievements and looked ahead to the annual meeting of Memorial Hospital Corporation on January 24. 'Memorial Hospital is becoming 'a hospital without walls' by reaching out to the community with many programs. They include health promotion and health education- -all with the goal of stressing good health practices." A series of lectures, augmented by discussion, called "Women's Health Issues", provided women with factual information concerning their health. Cardio-pulmonary resuscitation programs are offered. A speaker's bureau was established during 1983. This service provides a list of health professionals, physicians, and nurses and dietitians available to give programs on various subjects to groups, organizations, school and churches. Memorial Hospital actively participates in continuing education for Emergency Medical4 Technicians and paramedics. Two programs related to cancer are increasingly popular as citizens realize that early detection of cancer is important. An occult blood screening program to find occult blood in stools is a diagnostic laboratory way of diagnosing colon cancer. This program was offered the public and all employees in April, 1983. Under the.direction of Elaine Stanley, R.£L, a series called "I Can Cope" is presented on a continuing basis as an education and information course for persons with cancer. Other community service programs include high blood pressure screening, diabetic detection campaign to detect the "hidden diabetic" and a screening to find children with orthopedic problems.

They pur­ chase their own equipment and uniforms and make a com­ mittment to donate a specified number of hours each year. They accompany regular dupties on patrol. On a number of occasions, they augment the department, guarding prisoners who are in the hospital or assisting in the corrections department. They are available to assist at civic celebrations in many communities and sports activities at various schools. The Auxiliary Deputy course is taught by members of the Sheriff's Department Under the direction of Robert Crabtree, captain of the patrol division. In addition to the mandated firearms training, taught by the State of Illinois, the course will include an overview of handling a Driving Under the Influence person, patrol procedures, accident investigation, traffic and riot control, jail and arrest procedure, defensive driving, criminal law and other im­ portant information that will assist the volunteer in their service to the county. Students enrolling in this course are required to have completed the 25-hour Auxiliary Police course.
