32 WINNETKA TALK May 12, 1928 HOSPITAL DAY MAY 12 St. Francis Invites Public to Inspect Buildings Saturday Afternoon On Florence Nightingale's birthday, May 12, St. Francis hospital is joining in the custom of hospitals the country over in observing hospital day. Start- ing at 2 it will open its doors to the public for a three-hour open house. All departments and sections of the main hospital building and the nurses' home will be visited by the guests, who will be ushered through them by mem- bers of the hospital staff. Among the newer rooms of interest are the emergency rooms, which the St. Fran- cis foundation is assuming the cost of equipping, and the children's ward, both of which were opened this past winter. Nurses in charge of each de- partment will explain its workings and purposes. For high school senior girls, who have been especially invited with the view of interesting them in taking nursing education, there will be tea in the Nurses' home. The St.George's high school band will give a program there during the afternoon. National Hospital day has been ob- served since 1922 and has been con- ducted to interest the public in hos- pital work and create closer contact with the people who carry on the hos- pital's mission. Evanston hospital's observance took the form of a tour of the hospital this week, conducted for the members of the Chamber of Commerce.
