Management
0f Hospifal
Big DBusiness
i By SHIRLEE CHERNOFF
| Managing a hospital is a busi
| ness—big business—24 hours a
! day, seven days a week.
| When a patient enters a hospi
tal for any reason, from a minor
injury to a major operation, he
wants the best service and care
] possibie. One of the prime duties
)the hospital administration office
I is to see that just such treatment
t is received.
i Managing a hospital is an ex
!pensive business, and like any
| other business, the hospital must
i receive pay for services from those
' who are able to pay. But unlike
lmzmy other businesses, hospitals
do not refuse to administer to
| those who cannot pay for services.
Value of X-Ray
‘ In diagnosis and treatment to
| day, X-ray is invaluable. Machines
| are 'valued from SB,OOO to SIB,OOO
| per unit. Initial investment in such
equipment, as in other businesses,
is only the beginning. There are
trained technicians reauired to op
erate the equipment. There is the
| auestion of upkeep and supplies.
Whether it is to determine the
cause of intestinal obstruction, or
whether it is to treat a deep seat-
If an operation is advisable, a
If an opertion is advisable, a
patient doesn’t wish to be con
cerned with ecuipment and facili
ties. Price, within the limits of in
come, is no object when health is
at stake. Even the table wupon
which operations are performed
must be of the very best, and that
means an outlay of aoproximate
ly $1,750. Completely shadow
proof light in the operating room
costs about $1,200, and a surgical
instrument mav cost anywhere
from $8.50 to SBS.
Opening of a new wing at Ath
ens General Hospital, and its com
plete renovation emphasize how
far hospitals have advanced from
barren white walls and iron fur
niture. Restful colors and cheerful
atmosphere are achieved through
paint and furniture, but the cost
of decorating a single private room
runs in excess of $450.
| A private lavndry, a heating
plant, and a dining room are
among the facilities that a hospital
maintains. The kitchen at Athens
General is a big business in itself,
for here the staff must prepare
| apoetizing, nutritious meals for
patients and staff. Approximately
11,000 meals are served monthly
at Athens General Hospital. It is
necessary to have two completely
separate units for preparation and
cooking of food. One unit prepares
and serves food for all patients on
a regular diet, while a second unit
provides individual menus for
those patients on special diets. All
meals must be served in the most
appealing way, and on a schedule
designed to tempt appetites which
seem to have a tendency to van
ish along with health.
As a business enterprise, the
hospital seeks -no profit, but it
must be able to operate on a bud
get provided by fees from patients
treated, plus a subsidy from Clarke
| county to meet overhead expenses
and unanswered heeds. In order
to provide expert, efficient service
when it is needed most, Athens.
General Hospital must project a
maximum amount of service for
| each dollar invested, whether by
“ individual patient, or by his civic
| agency.

PUBLIC SERVICE INSTITUTE
Athens General Hospital,
Serving County For 30 Years
By HELEN BEAVERS
When you recall the history of
Clarke county’s public service in
stitutions, Athens Gencral Hos
pital will probably be among the
top on the list. For 30 years of
service to Clarke county is the
record of this institution.
Organized in 1919, Athens Gen
eral did not become a physical
unit until 1921, when a building
was erected at an initial cost of
$280,000, Funds were raised by
private subscription, and the hos
pital as an incorporated institution,
owned by share-holders and gov
erned by a Board of Trustees.
Original Board of Trustees con
sisted of Jake Bernstein, Selig
Bernstein, Alonzo G. Dudley,
Aaron Cohen, Harry Hodgson, De
prell Hunnicutt, Edward K. Lump
kin, James L, McLeroy, Max Mi
chael, Simon Michael, James W,
Morton, Gasper Palmisano, Char
les H, Phinizy, Walter C. Pitner,
J. Warren Smith, and Hugh W.

Grazing Contest
To Begin Monday
ATLANTA—Monday will mark
the beginning of district judging
in the FFA winter grazing contest
sponsored by the Georgia Power
Company.
For the last two weeks county
committees have been busy select

county in the state’s four voca
tional distcts. No these good pas
tures will be visited by district
committees who must choose
eight boys to win cash awards
ranging from $7.50 upward to $75.
Altogether, the power company :
will divide $1,075 in prizes |
among 32 individuals with SIOO of |
that going to the Future Farmer
who has the best pasture in the
state.
State judging will come during
the week of April 24, according to
T. G. Walters, state supervisor of l
agricultural education. The judges l
will be Dr. O. E. Sells, pasture
specialist and head of the animal
husbandry department at the
Georgia Experiment Station; O. L.
Brooks, associate agronomist,
Mountain Experiment Station; and
John Preston, extension pasture,
agronomist, Coastal Plains Expe
riment Station. |
In all, 2,326 Future Farmers |
planted 7,451 acres of temporary
pastures last fall to become eligi- l
ble for one of the winter grazing l
awards. Mr. Walters says that;
during the last three years these
farm youths have planted over
21,000 acres of winter pastures,
many of these later becoming pas
tures because they are seeded to |
fescues and clovers. l
Franklin Singleton of Rabun |
county high school and Sammie'
Childs of Davis Academy are for- |
mer winners of the state award. |
A census taken by William the
Conqueror in 1086 was recorded
in the “Doomsday Book” and was
so unpopular that censuses were
not again taken until compara
tively recent times.
Electricity is used in more than
350 different ways by the farmers
of the United States.
