VOLUNTARY' HOSPIIIALIZA-
TION FOR SO17T'H HURON
•
Article I.
('By Dr. A,,..lfoir)
Beginning with July, announcement
is 'being made .of a Voluntary ilospitail-
ization plan, which is being inaugur-
ated at Huron Springs, between 1-Ten-
sall and Exeter, to serve' the seven
southern municipalities of Hnron..In-
this article merely a brief summary of
the 'plant iS given, ,\fore details will
follow in atibsega,ent issues of the
press.
Briefly the glen is .this:—Su!bacrih-
ers will he enlisted at the yearly rate
of $5.00 for adults and $2,001 per year
for dependent children under 24I.y,ears.
This .will entitle tete subscriber 'at any
time or times during the year, to
three weeks free hospital service, in-
cluding board and septi -private room .
(private when available), nursing care
tinder the direction of a resident grad -
'nate nurse, and free use of operating
roots, if .required.
This system is no,w in operation in
hundreds of hospitals throughout Ca-
nada, United States and Great Britain
and inmany ofthese, subscribers for
the second year, over the first, in-
creased by as much as 1000 per cent.
We know of none that have ,reverted
to the former 'system.
The project has been canvassed
from every viewpoint. Communica-
tions with the. Department of Health,
Medical Association and actuarial an.
thorities have been under way. 1'rvu,
enthusiastic and unanimous meetings
of the reeves have already'been held,
The ten doctors practising in these
municipalities have been invilted to
personally attend their p'atien'ts there.
Tn faot the plan has been. worked out
1 wash the thought and thoratiglnness
that such a project deserves and the
public are asked to give this article -a
careful reading in anticipation' of the
one to follow next week, when the
project will ,be explained in detail,
