/-Patients who must learn ways of per-
orming daily tasks with a minimum
amount of effort.
The Occupational Therapy Depart
ment, which was housed in temporary
quarters on the third floor of the
hospital during the reuovatio]i period,
last year handled a total of 5,365
patient visits.
The Division of Physical Medicine
and Kehabilitation, coordinated by
Dr. Robert A. Gregg, occupies a suite
of offices and examination rooms near
physical and occupational therapy.
Dr. Gregg and Drs. Frank Clippinger
(orthopedic surgery), Morton Bogdo-
noff (medicine), Claude Nichols (psy
chiatry) and Edwin P. Alyea (urol
ogy) form a senior staff rehabilita
tion team that provides consultative
service in long-range planning for
patients with chronic illness. This
group works primarily with hospital
ized patients. David Henry is execu
tive secretary of the Division’s Con
tinued Care Program which provides
rehabilitation for patients after they
/^eave the hospital, and Dr. Gelolo
.iIcHugh, a psychologist, is research
director of this program.
Facilities for the Division of Phys
ical Medicine and Rehabilitation in
clude offices, a conference room Avhere
the senior staff meets twice each
month, a general examination room,
and a room for electromyography.
The Prosthetic and Orthopedic Ap
pliance Center, directed by Mr. Bert
R. Titus and known to hospital per
sonnel as the Brace Shop, has gained
additional space by excavation be
neath the Medical School and by new
construction in part of a parking
court near the hospital post office. A
steep, narrow stairway leading from
the first floor of the Medical School to
the Center has been eliminated. Pa
tients can now enter a large, com
fortably furnished waiting room from
the basement corridor of the Medical
School or from the parking court.
Two new fitting rooms for artificial
limbs and orthopedic appliances ad
join a Avalking area equipped with
^_^hand rails ajid fidl lengih mirrors,
'lere, patients can try out new appli
ances during fitting and practice us
ing them before leaving the Center.
A third fitting room is designed pri
marily for fitting corrective shoes and
corsets.
Beyond these fitting rooms are a
leather room for such work as making
leather parts for braces and working
on special shoes; the brace shop prop
er where orthopedic appliances are
made; a tile-walled plaster room; a
plastic room for work involving the
use of plastics in prosthetic appli
ances ; and the limb shop for wood
working and other crafts that are
utilized in the fabrication of artificial
limbs.
A project carried out concurrently
with the rehabilitation undertaking is
the renovation of the Hospital Store
or “Dope Shop” and its enlargement
by construction above the new portion
of the Prosthetic and Orthopedic Ap
pliance Center. Now more than twice
its former size, the Dope Shop has
lost its tables and benches where
students, not to mention personnel,
gathered for coffee breaks, but has
gained in efficiency and attractiveness
of surroundings.

major interests.
A memorial service was held for Gin
on Saturday afternoon. May 25, at
four o’clock in Duke Chapel. Her
valiant and indomitable spirit, her
uncompromising integrity, and her
utter loyalty, once committed, to any
person or project are qualities of spirit
which defy extinction. She can never
cease to be a challenge and inspira
tion to everyone who has known her.
