Red Cross Serves VA Hospitals On Volunteer Basis o When Moore General hospital was taken over November 15 by the Veterans Administration as an annex to the hospital at Oteen, a new Red Cross service consti tuted a part of the change. The American National Red Cross instituted service in veter ans hospitals soon after the end of the World War II in an effort to assist the veterans administra tion by assigning a field director to the hospital to stimulate and coordinate the service of Red Cross volunteers serving the hospital. The field director acts as liasion between the hospital manager and Red Cross in matters pertaining to Red Cross services and supplies. She works closely with all depart ments to learn the needs of the patients so that she can interpret these needs and give the people in the local and surrounding com munities an opportunity to serve these hospitalized veterans who have served our country and peo ple so well. Miss Lola Crawford is the field director for this area. < The veterans administration suppiles the very best in the way of facilities, care, and treatment for the patients in their hospitals, but there are other things that contribute toward the healing of the whole man. The mental atti tude or morale of a man determines how he will respond to treatment. Through the services of volun teers Red Cross is paving the way for service to these veterans that will make them more content to face the long period of hospitali zation that must be endured, that will raise their morale to the point where they will want to get well, and that will keep them in touch' with the world outside the hospital to which they will re turn. When volunteers come into the hospital to give personal ser vices, they bring a touch of home and family to the patient and also a contact with a world which is a happy contrast to his hospital world peopled with doctors and nurses, whom he sees every day. j This community has the oppor i tunity and privilege of serving one of the largest veterans’ hospitals in the country and one which will probably be the largest tubercu losis hospital in the world. The patients in this hospital need your interest and assistance in fight ing their battle for health. They need the Gray Ladies who will visit them, write letters, run nec essary errands, send their tele grams and see that personal needs are answered. As no employee of the veterans administration is al lowed to handle a patient’s money, he is dependent upon his Gray Lady for everything that involves the handling of his money. A shopping service must be set up since the majority of these pati ents wili not be able to leave the hospital and shop for themselves. The patients need entertainment and diversion that can be brought to them from the community: tal ented individuals or groups who w3l come out and entertain, girls who will act as hostesses at part ies; people who would like to play games, and groups that would like to assist with parties. There are even patients who want to make constructive use of the time they spend in the hospi tal by studying in an effort to complete their education that was interrupted by the war. The vet erans administration is making this opportunity available but as personnel is limited in this field, volunteers are needed to assist the patients with their studies. The cooperation of every citizen in the community and in surrouiHj ing communities will be needed to do the job that is before us. This is no longer a war-time emerge**"-' 1 program but a long-term peace time program for those who have given their health for the peace and freedom we are now enjoying. Red Cross is offering the commun ity the opportunity of helping these hospitalized veterans win their peace and freedom.
