Transfer of Aged from Hospital Will Be Beneficial to Everyone Transfer of aged persons from MiUedgeville State Hos pital to their homes or to nursing homes throughout the state will not only result in a blessing to them but will in sure better care and treatment of patients remaining in the hospital. According to The Georgia Association for Mental Heal th, Inc., a program has been initiated for the transfer of 1,100 non-psychotlc aged pa tients to their own homes and families, to homes of relatives or to appropriate nursing homes throughout tht state. Working together on the mass transfer are the Depart ment of Public Health, the De partment of Family and Child ren’s Services, the Medical Association of Georgia, and the hospital itself. Patients believed ready for such transfers are carefully selected by attending physi cians at the hospital, then re ferred to the social service staff. The attitude of patients and their desires toward trans ferring are carefully consider ed. Families of patients approv ed for transfer are consulted and if possible arrangements are worked out for patients to live with their families. Where such is not possible arrange ments are worked out with nursing homes best suitable to meet the patients’ needs. The Baxley News-Banner endorses this humanitarian move that should go a long way toward relieving over crowding at Milledgeville State Hospital, thus insuring better care and treatment for patients remaining in the hos pital and a more pleasant ex istence for those transferred. — Baxley News-Banner Student's Academic Record Will Influence Employment Prospects Washington, D.
