Fund Drive
Nets $4,500
More than $4,500 has been contrib
uted to the medical center's "Friends of
Duke Hospital" fund drive for the sup
port of indigent patients. The campaign
was organized in December to help al
leviate the financial strain put on the
hospital by the large number of non
paying patients who come to Duke for
treatment.
Letters were sent to some 2,200 for
mer Duke patients by their doctors work
ing in the private diagnostic clinics. Ap
proximately five per cent of the former
patients asked sent contributions ranging
from $1 to $1,000. The total number of
contributors stands at 110, but checks are
still arriving. Acknowledgment letters
are sent to each person by the Office of
Public Relations.
A final report and suggestions for
future fund drives to support indigent
patients are expected this month.
