the county for the splendid
manner in which they have
handled the present and fu
ture problems concerning the
efficient operation of the hos
pital.
Because of the growth poten
tial of this area Newton Coun
ty Hospital was built with a
chassis for 60 beds although
rooms for only 34 beds were
built in 1054. To take care of
overcrowding in the hospital
•nd growth in the county the
people of Newton County voted
a bond issue to be used as the
County’s 1/3 of Hill - Burton
Hospital construction funds.
The Hospital Authority and Ad
ministrator spent many hours in
meetings with the Architects,
Aeck Associates, from Atlanta
and State Department of
Health Hospital Services, plan
ning the needed addition.
In January of 1960 the long
planned addition was begun. It
is now completed. These new
facilities consist of 15 private
rooms all with private baths
and a lobby on the north wing.
These private rooms are fur
nished with some of the newer
type hospital wood furniture to
make them look more attrac
tive. On the east wing 2 three
bed ward rooms have been add
ed.
The entire building, existing
and new wings has been air -
conditioned. A second operat
ing room has been completed.
The most modern surgical
equipment available has been
used in this operating room. A
recovery room has been set up
in the operating suite. Ceramic
tile has been installed in all the
corridors. A Family or Bereave
ment Room has been furnished.
Piped oxygen for all the service
areas has been added. A new
