Dr. Wilson Named to H.E.W. Panel
The Dean of the School of Nursing,
Dr. Ruby L. Wilson, has been appointed
to the National Advisory Council on
Nurse Training of the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare.
The four-year appointment was
announced by HEW Secretary Caspar W.
Weinberger.
The 19-member council of experts in
nursing, other health professions,
education and community affairs advises
HEW's Division of Nursing on policy and
the administration of grants to nursing
schools. It also gives final review to
applications for federal funds to improve
nursing education and expand the scope
and scientific basis of nursing practice.
Dr. Wilson became dean in 1971 after
returning from a two-year assignment in
Thailand for the Rockefeller Foundation.
She served as visiting professor and
consultant for the foundation in
developing the service and educational
programs for patient care with particular
emphasis on the department and School
of Nursing at Ramathibodi Hospital,
Mahidol University, in Bangkok.
Her affiliation with Duke began in
1955 when she was named an instructor
in medical and surgical nursing. In 1959
she was promoted to assistant professor,
and from 1963 to 1966 she was also an
associate in medicine, assistant to the
director of nursing services and clinical
specialist in nephrology.
From 1966 to 1968 she took a
sabbatical and educational leave and
earned her doctorate in higher education
at Duke.

Rodio Joins Eye Center
Klima To Assume Md. Post
Dennis E. Kilma, administrator of the
Eye Center and assistant director of the
hospital since September of 1971, has
resigned to accept the p>ost of assistant
administrator of Memorial Hospital in
Easton, Md., effective December 31.
Memorial is a 200-bed community
hosf)ital on the eastern shore of
Maryland's Chesapeake Bay.
"My wife Sandra and I both have
cherished our experience at Duke," Klima
said while explaining his new position,
"but we felt that this appointment is a
professional advancement I shouldn't pass
up. Part of my new job will be to prepare
Memorial Hospital for compliance with
Maryland's state rate review commission,
a relatively new concept of hospital cost
control which will probably affect every
state in the union within the next five to
10 years."
A 1968 graduate of Duke's Graduate
Program in Hospital Administration,
Klima worked with other medical center
planners toward the establishment of the
Eye Center — it's construction, the
ongoing services it will provide and the
physical transfer of the Department of
Ophthalmology into the new facility in
recent months.
Sandra Klima, who graduated from
Memorial Hospital's nursing program,
came to Duke in 1965 as an RN. She has
served as head nurse on Holmes Ward
and, most recently, professional
administrative assistant to Wilma
Minniear, director of Nursing Services,
before taking a maternity leave last year.
C.J. "Cy" Rodio, former unit
administrator on the medical unit and
manager of the Medical Outpatient Clinic,
has been named to succeed Klima as
assistant administrative director of the
hospital and administrator of the Eye
Center. James A. Goode, who holds a
masters degree in health administration
from Baylor University and has spent the
DENNIS KLIMA
CY RODIO
past eight years in the military health
system, will in turn succeed Rodio as
manager of the Medical Outpatient Clinic.
