In ten months of operation, the hospital has served the community by taking care of many emergency cases as well as the regular admitted patients. Approximately 1,000 outpatients, as well as th$ 1,000 inpatients, have been treated since the opening on Sept. 5, 1956. In four months, the hospital was operating at 80 percent or moge of capacity! This is over the recommended level for a hospital due to the fact that there i$ not sufficient leeway for emergencies when the level of occupancy exceeds 75 percent. Due to the tremendous influx of population in the area, the number of accident cases, is increasing. Manjr ? times emergencies due to accident and illness cause all of the hos- - pitals in McHenry county to be filled beyond the best working capacity. Additional facilities in the - county may be a necessity* if the present trend continues.
