The staff at South Huron
114sPital are proudly opening
their doors tomorrow
(Thursday) and inviting the
public in, They have very
good: reason to be proud. A
bright, new addition and
extensive renovations have
made the hospital a very
attractive building.
Renovations, repairs and•
cleaning projects have been
going " on' since March to
make the older parts of the
hospital equal to its new
addition. many of the
changes are very obivious to
a visitor, while others might
need pointing out, and still
others can't be seen at all,
but are very important.
Visitors will immediately
notice that the walls have
been painted bright, cheery
colours. Rooms are sunny
yellow or warm peach
shades, The floors are waxed
and shiny.
There's a clean, pleasant
smell throughout the
corridors -- not the stale,
musty odour typical of a
hospital.
A new nurse's station sits
at the end of one hallway.
There's ample room for
telephones, charts and
supplies. Everything ap-
pears to be well organized.
Recently, the women's.
auxiliary donated funds to
the hospital for the purchase
of new beds, over-bed tables
and bedside cabinets.
Other improvements in the
hospital weren't as obvious
but were still very im-
portant. Ceilings have been
replaced with non-
combustible tiles. Wooden
door frames were changed to
flame-proof metal.
Work is still going on in one
room which will be used as a
sitting room. Patients will be
able to go to this room to
watch television or talk with
visitors,
A new numbering system
'has gone into effect. Rooms
in the obstetrics area are in
the 100 range, while the
semi-private rooms are in
the 200 range. Rooms in the
wing will be in the 30o range.
New signs and a directory
will help visitors get around
the hospital. The funds for
the directory and signs were
donated, by, the Rebekak„
LOdge.
Earlier in the fall, the Leos
club donated money for the
hospital to purchase a new
system of binders in which to
keep patients'. records..
Many of the changes in the
hospital are not visible to
visitors, but Would certainly
be noticed by patients.
Each room is now
equipped with oxygen and
suction. Television cable has
been put in, and telephones
were installed in each room.
At the same time, ducts were
installed for air conditioning,
but as yet funds are not
MODERN NURSING STATION — Bernice Martin, Jane Harvey and DiprIene Geoffrey find
