2 A Salute To Hearing And Speech Month "May is Better Hearing and Speech Month by proclamation of President Ford and Governor Holshouser. "Man Is differentiated from the lower animals largely on the basis of his ability to accumulate knowledge. The accumulation of knowledge from generation to generation is the direct result of his use of complex language systems to transmit highly technical information. In addition, competence in communication is the primary tool leading to satisfying personal and social interaction for the individual. "Yet, more than 20 million Americans —10 percent of all children and adults In the United States — have speech, language or hearing impairments which severely affect their ability to function as human lyeings. One of the major problems of modern health care Is that so many afflicted with communication disorders are unaware that help is available to them. "Speech Pathologists and Audiologists are the professionals who are trained to work with individuals having speech, language and hearing impairments in an effort to restore or improve their communicative abilities so that they might assume a meaningful and productive place in society. ” —Dr. LuVern Kunze, Director Center for Speech i Hearing Disorders m Wfrm llkntaccom IS published weekly for Duke University Medical Center employees, faculty staff, students and friends by the Medical Center's Office of Public Relations.

N.C., sporting goods firm, was a patient of Cushing Ward recently, the nursing staff took an immediate liking to him. Traenkner. who underwent major surgery at Duke, must have felt the saine way about the nurses - because t)efore he was discharged, he presented every one of them (36) with a "Cushing Ward All Stars” sport shirt. Four of the "All Stars,” (from left to right, RN Kathy York, LPN Georgianna Cooper, medication assistant Bill Pickford and RN Ann Kirk) consented to model their new shirts for Intercom. (Photo by David VMiamson) WRONG NUMBER Please rememtjer that people cannot dial hospital wards from outside the hospital. When they attempt to dial a ward from anywhere outside the 684 exchange, the phone system automatically switches the call to the Information Desk. This is frustrating to people who have t>een told they can dial a ward directly or who have tieen instructed to contact a physician or someone else by calling the ward. Therefore, if you’re a physician or an employee on a ward and you're telling a patient’s family or other people how to contact you, you’ll need to give them a numt)er other than the one on the ward.
