Among highlights, certainly the Snack Bar and Gift shop deserve raves. Public interest is great, and the Snack Bar provides an inviting, quiet place for visitors and guest -- volume of sales is much higher and the interest in the gift shop is equally great. Auxiliary members show their en­ thusiasm by responding eagerly with offers to work in either area. Since the open house, M e m o r i a l H o s p i t a l ' s shakedown period has been a most happy situation as the 130- bed hospital goes into service. Patients were shifted to the fourth floor in late April, leaving the second floor empty so it can be redecorated. Twenty-eight patients were moved, occupying all but two of the thirty beds on the new fourth floor, after the shift. 1 The call for volunteers knows no limits on age, sex or ex­ perience. Two men who are serving as volunteers at McHenry hospital on a regular basis emphasize how much willing people can be helpful. As staff members reflect to observe National Hospital Week this week, they are ap­ preciative of the teen-age Candystripers, women, and now the men who come to the. assistance of patients as non- paid volunteer workers. Joining the volunteers because they desire to help others are Gustav Massman, Cary, and Albert Oswald, Crystal Lake. "These men help in escort service and recreational therapy," said Mrs. .Everett Hansen, auxiliary president, "and we welcome JBther men willing to give a rew hours a week to make the stay of patients more comfortable at McHenry hospital." S "We think it wonderful that McHenry hospital is the first to have male volunteers in the county. These men have a xljareoal gray jacket with the volunteer insignia as their uniform." Persons wishing to inquire how they can become a volunteer can call Mrs. Hansen at McHenry hospital. Mrs. Hansen is the full time volun­ teer director of the volunteer services, giving almost her full time to the vital job of directing the seventy-five people who work at the hospital on a regular basis. Their services, range from staffing the in­ formation desk to handling admissions, from taking patients to certain departments to occupational therapy. Massman is the first of the two men to volunteer, and he works two Jialf-days and one fllll day each week. He spends eight hours a week assisting in escort service and eight hours Reading is one way the mile volunteers at McHenry hospital make the stay of patients more bearable. Albert Oswald, Cary, is one of two such men who works regularly as an auxiliary volunteer. Oswald is with Raymond Gardner, Fax Lake resident who is a New fourth floor nurses' station at Memorial Hospital for McHenry County provides work space for nurses on duty and for doctors to prepare notes on patient progress. Separate room for drugs is at left. In the new location-- Herald Hospital Addition During Special Week One of the happiest messages for the public this National Hospital Week is that the new addition to Memorial Hospital for McHenry County is working smoothly into the daily routine at the county-wide hospital. McHenry county citizens are fortunate to have three out­ standing community hospitals in the county, each dedicated to serve the patients who entrust them with their return to good health. National Hospital Week continues through this Saturday. At Woodstock, Jack Byers, president of Memorial Hospital for McHenry County board of directors, gave a progress report on what's taking place at Memorial hospital since the open house in mid-April. Here are highlights of his report which discloses the transition and also reveals a significant amount of work is required in areas "opened up" by the shift from the old part to the new. Attention centers on one of the finest nurses' station in any hos­ pital in the country--are Mrs. B.R. Van Ren­ sselaer. R.N., and Mrs. Don Hansen (seated), R„N., floor superintendent. ^ v .

"I remodeling areas vacated by the shift and putting the finishing touches so that ser­ vice to patients and visitors continues to be the finest possible. Workmen are regulating the ventilating system and soon will give the„air conditioning a trial run. Contractors are remodeling areas which are being converted as part of the planned final phases of the $1.6 million expansion. The old laboratory is being transformed into space for blood bank, bacteriology and histology. The old physical therapy department is becoming the headquarters for the nursing director and her assistant. The old snack bar-long a headquarters for many people as they waited in the lobby-is becoming a quiet area for meditation and waiting. The dishwasher room is ready now so the old dishwasher area is being enclosed to serve as a storage area. A television antenna system is being installed to provide outlets in all patient rooms. This includes the rooms which were in the earlier building programs at Memorial hospital. T e l e p h o n e c o m p a n y technicians are completing a major change which locates the switchboard in a first floor room, adds more phone service and makes it possible for the staff members at the reception desk to give undivided attention to visitors or incoming patients when necessary. Among assets people welcome is the recovery area. This includes four beds for post surgical patients, a new area for Memorial hospital. Patients are usually in the recovery area for about 60-90 minutes. It provides a place where con­ centrated care can be given by specialist staff members, and the best use can be made of their skills for patients requiring similar attention. Another noticeable change is in the service provided by the physical therapy department. Increased growth in patient demand is fulfilled with ease in the expanded area. It includes four cubicle areas, a separate hydro-therapy room with three different size tanks, and an exercise room with con­ siderably more space than that DELTA. . .The More Miles Per Dollar Tire. taWF®! i") 4-ply Delta PREMIUMS 7.75x14 7.75x15 '23 50 & Tax 8.25x14 8.25x15 '25 00 & Tax 8.55x14 8.55x15 '27! 00 & Tax ($2 EXTRA FOR WHITEWALLS) PASSENGER, TRUCK, TRACTOR, AND SNOW TIRES PLUS BATTERIES IN ALL SIZES!
