Elm St. McHenry Next to the National Store 385-7550 Benefits Of Proposed Regional Hospital Cited Training people to staff the hospitals in the county and en couraging more young people to consider health care car eers are among benefits cit izens of McHenry county could expect from a regional hospital, developed at a common site in conjunction with the junior col- leg, Anthony Corcoran saidthis past week. Corcoran is administrator of McHenry hospital and served as spokesman for the hospital associations of Woodstock j Crystal Lake and McHenry when he appeared before the McHenry County college board Sept. 2. Corcoran said one reason why a Tri-City hospital and the jun ior college should be on ad jacent sites is because the prox imity would help develop sig nificant training courses for a variety of health care car eers. Savings on development costs if shared by the two groups-- the hospitals and the junior col lege--would be vital in such ar eas as roadways, site develop ment, water and sewer facil ities and utilities. Doctors like the connection between the two groups because they prefer an academic sur rounding in which to practice. They can also teach, and they share the younger person's eag erness for learning and prac tical experience. Leaders of some of the hos pital groups feel it imperative the hospitals develop a train ing program for persons in ad dition to those usually associ ated with an in-service train ing program. ' New emerging partnership should bring about both a com munity hospital and a commun ity college. We recognize the urgency, however, for the junior college to arrive at a decision so it can start the machinery to bring about a favorable referendum and build for the fall of 1970." A study of trained health care personnel shows a grave shortage exists today. While the three hospitals in McHenry county today are adequately staffed, the trend is toward in creasing difficulty in finding and keeping qualified help. Chi cago City college and St. Luke's-Presbyterian hospital in Chicago are working to es tablish that hospital as a cen ter for training and education. Similarly, a regional hos pital here can become a com munity hospital that develops innovative training programs to produce a vast array of health personnel because of the close relationship between the people that need the employees and the people that have the educational structure to provide facilities and know-how. The hospital, additionally, has skilled per sons qualified to instruct. " Programs can be developed where medical students can be assigned to experience patient care approaches not always demonstrated in university cen ters," added Corcoran. "I can see where instruc tion can be pinpointed to the needs of practicing physicians at our initial 350-bed regional hospital. Training can combine learning how to care for patients with research on the delivery of patient care--the field is wide open to innovative, bold prog ress in the health care field." Through Corcoran, hospital associations centered in Wood stock, Crystal Lake and Mc Henry made a presentation to the McHenry County college on Sept. 2, proposing the two groups combine to develop a hospital-educational complex on adjoining sites. Proposed site is on the Crystal Lake- McHenry blacktop, and the hos pital groups say they have op tions on enough land--more than 300 acres--to serv^the long- Sec. 2, Pg. 2 - Plaindealer - Wed. Oct. 1, 1969 CLUB DONATES TELEVISION TO AREA COLLEGE William Holub, president of the Crystal Lake Kiwanis club, has announced the donation of $175 to McHenry County col lege for the purchase of a tel evision receiver. The board of directors of the club approved the recommendation made by Eddie Essex, chairman of the Special Projects committee, that the set be donated. College officials have stated that the set will be installed in a student lounge area for view ing of programs related to the curriculum and particularly for viewing college credit courses offered by educational tel evision stations. President Forest Etheredge stated that "the television set will benefit a great number of students and be of major value in our edu cational program. The college is greatly appreciative of this range needs of both hospital and college requirements. The McHenry County college board deferred action until its Sept. 25 meeting to conduct an investigation of the proposed sites. The board authorized test borings at various locations to speed action. action by the Crystal Lake Ki wanis club." Arrangements are being made by the college for a plaque stating the name of the donor organization to be at tached to the television set. The College participates in two agreements with other col leges to bring college courses to McHenry county by means of television. One agreement re sults in courses offered by Channel 13 from Rockford. The other agreement results in courses being broadcast from Chicago on Channel 11.
