Patients' Parents Can Find Help From Surgical Wives' Donation A child is rushed to Duke Hospital for emergency treatment. As the parents leave home, all their attention is focused on their sick child. Once the immediate crisis has passed, they realize they don't have any pocket money for dinner. Now there's a way they can get help. The Surgical Wives Club has contributed $1,200 to establish a Pediatric Parents Emergency Assistance Fund. Dori Eglevsky, president of the club, presented the money to Duke. "Unquestionably, this is one of the most useful donations that the Pediatric Unit has ever received," said Michael J. Schwartz, assistant administrative director of the hospital. "A source of funds is now available, thanks to the generosity of the Surgical Wives, which can be used to help needy and distressed parents for whom no other such funds exist." Dr. Samuel L. Katz, professor and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics, said, "This is a unique and innovative way to support a program which is badly needed to help parents remain close by while their children are in the hospital. The program will have a great deal of meaning for our pediatric patients and their families." The fund will be used only in true emergencies when no other community resources can be found, Schwartz said. The priorities are to provide food to parents remaining with or visiting their child who is a pediatric patient; to provide transportation for patients and their families; and to purchase drugs and medical appliances. The Surgical Wives Club includes about 200 active members who are wives of faculty and house staff in surgery, obstetrics-gynecology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology and pathology.
