Tells What Hospital Can Do
To Assist A Community
Some months ago Seaforth di-
trict pupils participated in an es-
say contest conduCted by the On-
tario Hospital Association, on the
subject, "What Our Hospital Means
To Our Community."
Winner of the Province -wide con-
test was Rachael Moir Morgan, of
Port Arthur. In her essay, she
said: •
•
'As never before, the commuhity
depends on the hospital of today
to enhance the general health, hap-
Pines.s, and welfare of this modern
generation.
From ancient times to the pre-
sent day, untold progress, has been
made in the field of medicine. We
can hardly appreciate the value of
convenient, time -saving inventions
and methods which have come to
us down through the centuries, as
a result of the splendid services
rendered to the community by the
hospifal.,, Doctors' offices could not
contain the equipment necessary
to diagnose cases quickly and effi-
ciently, and patients benefit from
new, costly and ever improving
equipment, accessible to the com-
munity through the hospital.
The care of the sick and injur-
ed is the most important function
of every hospital, and the institu-
tion, therefore, must be on duty 24
hours every day with skilled per-
sonnel ready to receive emergency
calls of traffic casualties, fire vic-
tims, births, and every other sick-
ness and disease. There .must al-
vvaye be adequate staff and equip-
ment to meet the need of each type
of injury and sickheas. The pat-
ient's social and financial standing
and his mental attitude must be
considered in his treatment and
the hospital makes every effort to
maintain the necessary services for
his benefit. The community is in-
debted to the hospital because any-
one requiring care, whether he is
financially able or not, may be ad-
Mitted for care and treatment.
Citizens from the community who
do not require hospital confinement
are. ceitistautly attending medical
and slirgical clinics at the hospital
seuttilitients, ter :the purpose of
'Mee1i4stg, eatiketa. •
