No dandelions 2 Miles West of U.S. 12 on Rte. 134 PHONE 815-385-9854 ADOPT REVISED SALARY SCHEDULE IN CITY HOSPITAL Adoption of a revised salary schedule that will affect most employees of McHenry hospital has been announced by George P. Freund, president. "The continued upward spiral of the Consumer price index clearly signals the need to review existing salaries. All employees have been informed of the revised schedule and what it means to them with a letter sent to their homes," Freund said. Room rates at the semi-private and private room level will be affected, but the intensive care and ambulatory care rates, are not affected, Freund said. Anthony Corcoran, administrator, said room rate will increase $2 from $33 to $35 for a semi-private room and from $40 to $42 for a private room. Rising salaries and corresponding need to increase room rates shows in hospital board action throughout the area. However, McHenry hospital so far is below the room rate of Chicago land hospitals which charge $45 a day^and upwards for a semi-private room. Suburban hospitals, suchasWaukegan, Libertyville and Highland WED., MAY 8, 1968-PLAINDEALER-PG. Park, to name a few, have rates of $38 or higher for a semiprivate room. Corcoran pointed out that because of the progressive care aspect of the hospital's facilities (intensive care unit and ambulatory care unit), patients often spend less time in the intermediate care unit, thus enjoying lower rates benefits. Commenting on the salary schedule revision, Corcoran said, "We have a duty to provide our patients with the finest care possible. This can be done only iiWe can offer salaries and benefit programs which allow us to attract skilled, dedicated employees." The board of directors supports this viewpoint fully, Freund said. "The board feels we should do everything we can to assure continued high level patient care. We feel it is our duty to insure our employees the opportunity to maintain their living standards in the face of rising costs." Freund said employees' salaries make up 63 percent of the hospital's operating budget. With ths huge chunk of the operating cost in one area, the salary increase strains the budget at once. This prompts the need to increase some charges ' at once such as in the upward j room rate revision, he concluded. ATTENDS DENTAL - INSTITUTE McHenry dentist, Dr. Leo- ; nard F. Pawlikowski, has re- , cently returned from Washing- ' ton, D.C. where he attended Walter Reed Institute of Dental Research.
