DON PEASLEY PHOTO CRACKDOWN ON TAXPAYERS - A massive crackdown on late hospital and delinquent taxpayers was hensive care." announced by Dlinois Revenue NEW CONCEPT IN HOSPITAL'S EXPANSION PLAN A new concept in expansion planning - looking outward to regional health needs and how work of all health care organizations can be coordinated rather than looking inward toward the institution's own needs - is under way at McHenry hospital! This 142-bed hospital has grown by leaps and bounds since its start in 1956 as a 25-bed unit. Today its 1966 addition -- actually an all-new facility--is filled to capacity and the board of directors has negotiated an option to purchase another new location. This is in keeping with the looking outward concept. Explained Anthony Corcoran, administrator; "The general hospital is breaking out of its ^elf-imposed 'isolation ward1 and establishing itself as a health care center for the service area. "Hospitals are joining with other local organizations in correlated health care planning, based on careful joint study of communities involved, region, trade area and adjacent hospital service areas. "An objective analysis of regional health care needs can help stop senseless competition among area medical facilities, and the public will benefit," Corcoran continued. "Such a study can also provide convincing evidence for area residents that travelling a reasonable distance is a small price to pay for high quality slgrvice and compre- "With health care costs skyrocketing and with medical knowledge and costs growing too, those of us associated with McHenry hospital are concerned over long-range planning which will assure quality hospital facilities and services readily accessible for the biggest number of residents practical," he said. Until now voluntary area planning by all hospitals has been based on "What does our hospital need?" rather than "How can we best serve all of our communities?" This year's National Hospital Week theme: "Your Hospital -- Pathway to Progress in Community Health," helps call attention to the significant developments at McHenry hospital. McHenry hospital has obtained an option to purchase 128 acres of land on the Crystal Lake-McHenry blacktop southwest of McHenry and immediately southeast of the new McHenry high school West campus. It plans to construct a %multi •'•structure medical complex at this location. The new hospital complex will' center around a 300-bed hospital, scheduled for completion within the next four years and designed for expansion to 500 beds. This new hospital will offer the full spectrum of medical services -- bio-medical engineering, short-term hospital care, out-patient and emergency services, extended care, rehabilitation facilities, units for the treatment of psychiatric patients, distinct programs for the treatment of cancer, stroke and other diseases, and a center for pre-medical education. Area physicians will be invited to lease office space from the new facility and to maintain offices in or ' near the complex for the convenience of doctors and patients. Other vital health care agencies in the area will be invited to share in the facilities oj^the comprehensive care center and to locate within the complex. Corcoran said the present three-level hospital at Green street and Waukegan road will be' converted to an extended care facility. It will be administered under the auspices of the hospital complex when the new building is completed. In cooperation with McHenry County college, the hospital board of directors is developing plans for inter-disciplinary curricula for a wide range of health careers. This can be an important step in alleviating the acute shortage (both nationally and locally) of manpower in hospitals and in the medical profession. The McHenry County college board has finalized selection of a site near the new hospital location but has not completed negotiations on the purchase of land. "Educational programs in a variety of attractive medical, paramedical, administrative and other hospital-oriented fields will be available toyoung people attending the college. The hospitals cooperating will serve as clinical instruction areas," Corcoran said. One further development deserves elaboration, the selection of McHenry hospital by the National Cash Register company to develop an NCR computer pilot program.

SHOP IN McHENRY TB ASSOCIATION IS HONORED AT AWARD LUNCHEON Hie McHenry County Tuberculosis association was honored at the Campaign Awards luncheon, sixtieth annual meeting of the Illinois Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease association, Pere Marquette hotel, Peoria, recently. Dr. Wm. J. Marinis received the Certificate of Appreciation for the McHenry County association. "The people of McHenry county have always responded to our annual Christmas Seal campaign and by their interest and support we are assured of continued health programs in our county," said Claribel H. Naylor, R.N., executive director of the association. The total 1968 Campaign was $32,609.51 Director George E. Mahin. The program will involve business concerns that are late in filing returns for use, retailers' and ^service occupation taxes and those that are two or more months delinquent. In a letter to all retailers, Mahin points out that tax returns and payments are due by the last day of the monthfollowing the month for which the tax liability is incurred and that the law provides for penalties and interest on late returns. What Corcoran forecasts is area-wide planning, conducted by professionals in the hospital consulting field to see what the best way is to make all health services available to area residents from a regional comprehensive health care center tailored to their needs. "Unnecessary overlapping of services, personnel and specialized equipment can be eliminated with such a plan, and smaller community health care units can be adapted realistically to meet immediate local need. 1 />' SECOND BEST MAN at your wedding "GAYLORD" The Recommended Photographer' 3854)170 Y ... s t W"': Just in ...and just wonderful!
