I had seen this Hospital mentioned in news reports many, many times, particularly during the great Polio epidemic of 1937. It was high time, I thought, to do a little private in- vestigation and this Hospital should be so out l twitch in the news. WHAT HAPPENS EVERY that a complete cure would take many months. "Upon hearing that bad news, the father and mother were all for bundling the little chap up and leaving for home. They could sever begin to pay for that much treat- ment, they said, 'We had hoped it might be just a week or so'. "It took quite a while," con- tinued the Superintendent, "but we finally convinced the parents that just because they couldn't afford to pay for the boy's care was no rea- son to deprive him of the only cbnnce he had to get well. We ask- ed them to leave their son with us and let us worry about the cost of the treatment. "The boy Os going home next week after almost two years of con- tinuous hospital care, many opera- tions, several X -Rays, special diets, orthopaedic equipment, etc. .He's feeling pretty fit now and his par- ents have been able to pay but a little toward this wonderful treat- ment. When a sick child needs hos- pital care, he gets it regardless of race, creed or financial circum- stance," This led to a discussion on the operating costs of the hospital. I was given information which is in- teresting and well worth passing on. In round figures, the operating expenses of the Hospital for the past year amounted to more than $543,000. The operating revenue—from Pri- vate, Semi -private patients and the comparatively few Public Ward patients who are able to pay, grants from Toronto, other Municipalities and the Provincial Government— amounted to just a little more than 9394,000. This means that the Hos- fficientaandtecon mical basis, siuffer- ed nn operating loss of over $149,000. Part of this deficit is met by the in- come from investments made with moneys bequeathed or endowed over asixty-year p 990,000. period, There Is still deficita TWENTY-FOUR HOURS I interviewed IMIr. Joseph Bower, the Superintendent of this busy In- stitution. He told me that during the twenty-four hour period pre- ceding receding my visit, nineteen operations had been performed two two X-ray photographs taken hundred and eighty individual pre- scriptions filled in a completely - equipped dispensary . . • twenty- eight wentyeight bed patients were admitted •. thirty-three children discharged es cured . . more than fourteen hundred meals served .. ten chil- dren done .. , 95S'otive ofsthe bedstavere oc- cupied, leaving only 19 beds free for emergency cases. And, according to the Superinten- dent, the twenty-four hour period was an average one, cal hospital acinsofar activity was concerned, VISIT TO PUBLIC WARDS After this chat on Hospital acti- vity, I was kindly shown through the Institution. We visited the Public Wards, the kitchens, swim- ming pool (necessary in the treat- ment of Polio and other cases), the orthopaedic workshop, the dispen- sary and operating rooms. It struck me as being a completely -equipped hospital with much special equip- ment. Every Ward we visited, Mr. Bower would say: "This is a Public Ward., I was quite surprised to loarn that 05% of the patients treated here are in Public Wards. The Hospital is .' taxed to capacity with little children whose parents are unable to pay viten the low Public Ward rates. The case history of one little chap I hod chatted with, while walking through the Ward was very inter- esting and quite typical. He was brought here one cold Winter day in 1937.,,, His parents had driven more then a hundred miles in the old farm truck so their little child might have hospital treatment, After examining the little fellow, our doctors told the parents that he needed attention immediately , And that is why this Hospital con- ducts an annual appeal at this time to secure enough funds to offset this operating loss. If everyone, who reads this item could visit the Hospital for Sick Children and see, es I did, whet is done here for Onterio's little ones, then they would do as I did.
