SUSAN MCBURNEY WINS ROTARY SCHOLARSHIP Continued From Page One literature, Miss McBurney plans to spend the summer ( with friends in Pirmasens, Germany where she spent the summer in 1976 as an exchange student of the Tryon Rotary Club. She then hopes to pursue her studies in French and economics at the Sorbonne in Paris with the ultimate goal of establishing a career in interna tional business. In addition to her high scholarship record at North western, Miss McBurney was president of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and a leader in a number of extracurricular activities. Prior to entering Northwestern, she was a graduate of Spartan burg Day School. St. Luke’s Year Was Tough One St. Luke’s auditors, Coopers & Lybrand of Charlotte, sent Robert Hoppe to last week’s board meeting to report on examination of the hospital’s financial statements. Mr. Hoppe said St. Luke’s had responded financially better than most hospitals to the current ravages of low census, govern ment regulations and inflation. (Another increase of 40 percent on X-ray film, due to rising cost of silver, on top of the 20 percent one of a short time ago, is in the works. But the hospital’s charge for an x-ray study of course is pegged, for the time being.) Financial Director Mrs. Genel- le Hooker said in her 17 years at St. Luke’s, this past one has been the toughest. Death, disability and departure have robbed St. Luke’s of 4 physicians this past year. There were 2,000 less patient days this year than last, but of course the hospital must continue to be staffed 24 hours a day. New physicians are bringing the census back up. There was a full load of eight surgical procedures the morning of the board meeting, with 6 more scheduled for the next day. More doctors are to begin practice here in 1980. St. Luke’s showed an operating loss of $11,000 this past year. A Medicare-Medicaid refund of $140,000 due in the next two months will help ease the strain. President Howard J. Spika said two-nurse teams of St. Luke’s registered nurses this week began visiting nursing schools in a 500-mile radius, to call one-on-one on graduates in the search for much needed R.N.’s at St. Luke’s. A search committee composed of the Executive Committee begins this week to find a successor to Administrator Spi ka, who is planning to retire in 1980. Dr. Donald Gilbert, Medical Staff Chief, reported the WNC Peer Review Team had just been here and given St. Luke’s Staff a good report; also that St. Luke’s own Professional Standards Review Organization is to continue — a big plus over having to import other doctors for this review, and a sign of recognized professional excellence by St. Luke’s medical staff. Trustees were reminded that the next Operation Outreach dinner, program and tour will be Monday, Feb. 4, in the hospital cafeteria. Area citizens interest ed in supporting St. Luke’s program to spread information about the hospital’s medical services throughout the area are urged to telephone Ms. Bobbie Hill at St. Luke's for a reservation. No charge. Trustees adopted the Long Range Plan for the hospital, a document of interest to all seriously interested in St. Luke’s future. This, and the Coopers & Lybrand audit, are available to the public in the administrator’s office. — Hospital Reporter 40 Years Ago The members of the Tryon football team will be given their annual banquet at the high school.
