PAGE 10-PLAINDEALER-WEDNESPZY, OCTOBER 4, 1972 No Rate Increase Necessary Now At Memorial Hospital Good news for those requiring hospitalization care comes today from Memorial Hospital for McHenry County! The board of directors has approved the budget presented by Bert Hanson, administrator, which anticipates no room rate increase at the present time. The budget, effective Oct. 1, totals $3,154,500, as anticipated income and $3,049,070 as an­ ticipated expenses. "This represents an increase of five per cent in income over the last fiscal year and an in­ crease in expenses by a like percentage," Harold Beth, chairman, and the^finance committee reported to the board. Salarv increases granted during the year will 4 be on a merit basis. A year ago the hospital granted a cost-of-living increase. Hanson stressed the hospital is complying with wage and price freeze regulations; during the first PRAISES CLUB t Rotary District Governor Bob Barr spoke at the, McHenry Rotary club meeting Thursday, Sept. 28.

This year this group numbers 153 persons. Other kinds of workers are needed also, such as secretaries, clerks, teachers' aides, custodians and cafeteria workers. Counting everybody, District 15 employs 280 persons, making it one of the largest employers in the McHenry community. Keeping pace with growing enrollments, the size of the professional staff tjas increased during the past decade. Figures cannot, however, tell of the consistent effort that has been made to maintain the quality of the instructional staff in spite of needed growth. Careful selection of new personnel is made from the numerous applications that are received. This year, for example, District 15 had more than 900 inquiries from persons interested in teaching in McHenry. These inquiries came from many parts of the country and were from graduates of over 100 different colleges and universities. Some were beginning teachers, but many were persons with ex­ perience elsewhere. After a careful screening process, which included a lengthy in­ terview as well as checking of references, twenty-three people were recommended to the Board of Education for employment. These persons were employed only to fill the vacancies created by resignations or retirement; no new positions were created. Qualification Requirements. All members of the professional staff must meet the requirements set up by the McClory Assists In Obtaining Aid For Flood Victims The Small Business Ad­ ministration today announced from Washington that McHenry County, Illinois, has been officially declared a "disaster area" as a result of the recent heavy rains and flooding which damaged many homes and properties in the county - of which Marengo was hardest hit. The Congressman has cooperated fully with Vernon Kays, McHenry County Clerk, Mayor Herman Buesing of Marengo; Governor Ogilvie's office; the SBA, and Val Oshel, Illinois' Civil Defense Director, in obtaining federal financial aid for the residents of Marengo and McHenry County. At the Congressman's request, the Civil Defense authorities and the SBA sent on-site in­ vestigators and the Congressman was personally represented by Mrs. Virginia Kenney, his staff assistant from Barrington, and Don Peasley of Woodstock. In view of the urgent need for federal financial aid, the Congressman diligently and persistently pursued the matter with the SBA in Chicago, and the an­ nouncement culminates his efforts to be helpful to the community of Marengo artd io McHenry County. Field offices have been set up for the convenience of the residents of the county. State of Illinois Teacher Cerification board and must hold a valid state certificate. All of the staff are graduates of four-year college programs and hold the Bachelor's degree. Many have earned in addition the Master's degree; and two (the superintendent and the director of instruction) hold the Doctor's degree. Where We Come From. Our own state universities, of course, furnish more people than distant colleges, but the range of backgrounds vary from coast to coast. Staff members represent more than fifty colleges and universities across the country. These diversified backgrounds help insure a continuing supply of fresh ideas. In future columns, we will comment upon some of the many ways in which we work with teachers, not only to ab­ sorb new persons into our organization, but to help all of us toward our goal of offering the best possible educational program for the children of District 15. full year of operating, the expanded hospital was able to adjust to additional expense and demands for service without added personnel. The new addition opened in April, 1971. Hanson said the projected income and expenses were based on a 75 per cent oc­ cupancy, and the hospital actually had a 71 Vi per cent occupancy. "With a growing population, addition of four new doctors the past year and completion of our new emergency department and other facilities this fall, we believe the 75 per cent basis is realistic," he summarized. In his presentation to the board, Beth noted that the auditors report the financial status of the hospital is "ex­ cellent". Committee members said they are gratified with this analysis. While rates are at a higher level than a year ago, when compared with the rates of hospitals in nearby suburbs, room rates at Memorial Hospital are "significantly lower." Finance committee members include Harold Beth, chair­ man; Bill Frame, Charles Liebman, Wayne L. Brown, Don Cooney, Woodstock and Richard Zieman, McHenry. Another figure for com­ parison: Many area hospitals figure costs at over $100 per day for each patient. Memorial hospital's per patient cost on a daily basis is presently $92.82. Wl|u are the main expenses facing the hospital? Wages. Of the $3,154,500 in projected in­ come, staff members figure $1,654,000 will go toward salaries. That's well over half the projected expenses of $3,049,070 for the next fiscal year. Other major expenses include electricity, water, telephone and interest on the money borrowed to put up the two major additions, medical supplies, X-ray and laboratory supplies, and Social Security, unemployment and pension funds, as well as depreciation expense on this 120-bed modern hospital in Woodstock.
