SC BUIL Help YOUR Hospital TT F E Ni' CA S2 OCT.MON., 18 L HOSPITAL AIGN TO RAISE AND CONTINUES FOR TWO WEEKS WHY THE CAMPAIGN During the progress of the construction of a 26 -bed addition in 1947 (for which necessary financing had been arranged) the Department of Health informed the Board that additional alterations and improvements to the existing building must be carried out. The Board agreed. that the changes proposed by the Department (including provision of fire exits, improved elevator service, standby heating unit, and elimination of ramp on the second floor), were desirable but that until funds were in sight to carry out the work no action would be taken. The Board realizes the urgency of completing the alterations if the service rendered the people of this district is not to be impaired. For this reason then the decision to ask the citizens of the district for their support in a campaign to provide funds for the work was decided on. What Your Hospital Means To The District Many district citizens are inclined to take their Hospital for granted— as being something that is in Seaforth if at anytime they happen to need the life saving benefits of such an institution. Not so the 881 persons that received treatment at Scott Memorial Hospital last year. To them the hospital is more than a building — it is a place that was responsible in no small measure for the recovery of their health. Each year an increasing number of citizens call on the hospital for service making necessary improved and increased facilities. In 1936 for instance the number of patient days totalled 4983. In 1947 this had risen to 9284. During the same period patients treated rose from 570 to 881 and births increased from 60 to 191. Hospitals never make money and so when alterations or improve- ments are needed, outside financial assistance becomes necessary. It is for this reason and to ensure that Scott Memorial Hospital will in the future be able to provide the citizens of the district with modern hospital care that the present appeal is being made. Be generous when the canvasser calls. Remember This is your opportunity to ensure continued and improved hospital facilities for the Seaforth District.
