People have learned that good health is more speedily and effectively restored in a hospital, where diagnostic treatment and trained personnel arc available. Today, no doctor could give pa tients the attention available in a hospital if he had to treat them at home. Advances in me dicine have prolonged life, and the diseases of the elderly usual ly require longer periods of hos pitalization. Medicare and Medicaid have made hospitals more accessible and hospital insurance has reduced the "cost fear" which once prevented many from obtaining needed hos pital care. How will health care in this area be improved? Specific features of this ad dition to and renovation of the Spruce Pine Hospital include 58 new beds; total beds will then number 108. Vital supporting services will also be expanded. These in clude: Obstetrics, operating rooms, X-ray, laboratory, phy sical therapy and inhalation therapy, and coronary- intensive care. Emergency room serviaes will be expanded and improved with hopes of attracting full time physician* to serve in this department. Will modern, up-dated health care facilities attract more doctor* to the area?
