Newspaper Page TextPatient Pens Words of Praise For Staff at Sylvan Grove Hospital Many, many years ago a young soldier of the Revolution came with his family to what is now Butts County. He and his slaves built homes for the families and started anew life for themselves. Other buildings were put up, a weaving room, barns, warehouse, a c-hurch—the very first one in this area—and a small dispensary where medicines were kept and dispensed as needed to those on the plantation or on neighboring plantations. These buildings were all destroyed when Sherman’s army marched through Georgia. But the family heritage of wanting to help others was not destroyed, and today there stands on a part of the old orig- inal Sylvan Grove plantation a beautiful, fully accredited hos pital in loving memory of those first settlers, opened in 1902. I have been vitally interested in Sylvan Grove Hospital since it was first conceived, but not until recently have I been a pa tient in it. Oh what a blessing to feel the soothing touch of a gentle hand when you are in pain, to hear someone encouraging you to take a sip of cold water! To touch a switch and have assurance some one will be at your bedside almost immediately—it may be a nurse’s aide, a licensed practical nurse, a registered nurse, or even the director of nurses come to minis ter to your needs, with never a thought of how menial the ‘task might be. What encouragement I received from doctors all the way down the line when I became able to try to move about in a walker, then with a cane. They made me feel that my getting to walk nor mally again was their most im portant interest. A few minutes later they would be helping an other patient with the same en couraging voices. Perhaps the word, other than efficiency, which describes the personnel of Sylvan Grove Hos pital is patience. Never once in my five and a half weeks have 1 heard a voice raised in impatience —and I am sure at times I have been very trying. Even the clean ing crew has been cheerful when I have littered the floor with Kleenex. I. for one, am very thankful that I had a place next door to which 1 could be rushed when I fell—and a director of nurses on whom I felt free to call to come to me, and to make all the arrangements for me. How bles sed we are to have such a person Weaver Insurance Agency Complete INSURANCE Service LIFE FIRE AUTOMOBILE P. H.
