HOSPITAL ROOM RATES M CITY WHL INCREASE Many Factors - • ConidbtiSe To Chang® Waxi Weak The room rate fpr patient rooms at McHenry hospital goes up Monday, March 27, to help cover the cost of salary increases that go in effect the same day, Tony Corcoran, administrator,, announced this week. Corcoran made two special points during the announcement: 1. McHenry hospital, in its new 137-bed hospital, has a progressive care approach-- care tailored to the patient's needs--and the rate for rooms goes if> depending on the unit involved. 2. Because of the progressive care facilities, patients often spend a large percentage of their stay in thl Self-Careunitu where rates are the lowest^ "For the seriously ill whorequire special nursing care, the Intensive Care unit is available," said Corcoran. "Agreat many patients are placed in the Intermediate Care unit at the start of their hospitalization." Salaries go up on adjusted basis for all employees. The sizeable increase to meet the demands of other employers and assure top quality personnel figures out to a 20 per cent increase in salary expense. "Our policy is clear cutobtain the best employees possible to give the best possible patient care," continued Corcoran. "We can never compromise on patient care-- it must be the best as we know employees must be the best. To maintain our employee caliber at a high level, the hospital must meet the wage and benefit programs offered by industry and business." With two-thirds of the total hospital budget going toward salaries, a salary increase strains the budget at once, Corcoran continued. Involved in the decision was the desire to pay a weekend differential and1 meet salary differences for day and night shift workers. McHenry hospital today has 150 part-time and 100 fulljttme employees. Since it is wholly a person-to-person type of service, the number of people required to care for patients is high. A study shows that non-service business spends only onethird of its total budget on salaries-- half that of a hospital. The growing number of Medicare patients is another factor; it requires more office help and more attention by department heads, including Corcoran. "Our ability toferovide custom- type care for patients is a standout feature of McHenry hospital. We've been delighted with the public's confidence in our modern approach to health care and are ahead of schedule in placing the new hospital into service," said Corcoran. "We find people wantthebest possible care and are willing to pay for it when they hear what is beit% provided them."

PMA DECISION Delegates at the forty-second annual meeting of Pure Milk association in Chicago March 18 tabled a resolution which would have put PMA immediately on record supporting a milk withholding action. Earlier, in commenting on the NFO's milk withholding action, A. L. McWilliams, PMA general manager said the PMA board of directors had concluded PMA should maintain a neutral position because the association has many members who are not NFO members as well as many who are. In maintaining this neutrality, each PMA member is responsible for getting his milk to the plant or station. PMA will not be liable for milk until it is received at the plant.
