Let's Put Troject DTC Over The Top!
Each of us at Fieldcrest soon will have an opportunity to share
in Project DTC, a campaign to provide a new Diagnostic and
Treatment Center at Morehead Memorial Hospital. Details on
how the campaign will be conducted and other infoimation are
carried in other articles in this issue of The Mill Whistle.
A successful campaign at Fieldcrest will go a long w^ay toward
assuring that the $300,000 needed will be raised. And we will be
assuring for ourselves and our loved ones vastly improved medi
cal services here at home in the Morehead Hospital.
The Diagnostic and Treatment Center will bring the latest
advances in the treatment of cancer to the Tri-City area. Cancer
is the second mast common cause of death in Rockingham County.
Early detection and prompt treatment can save lives and alleviate
suffering.
The cobalt X-ray machine, the further development of the
radio-isotope laboratory, the pathological laboratory and the
physical therapy department will make available services, tests
and treatments that patients now can obtain only by traveling to
the larger cities.
Treatment of cancer, diagnosis of conditions of the thyroid,
blood diseases and other diagnostic studies, the detection and
treatment of many non-malignant as well as malignant diseases,
will greatly advance the medical care available in the local hospi
tal. The new physical therapy department with its whirlpool bath
will aid in the healing of fractures and will alleviate pain asso
ciated with arthritis.
To obtain all this requires only that we at Fieldcrest and
others in the community give our fair share in the finance cam
paign. It is a wonderful opportunity for the Tri-Cities to make
our hospital even better and to provide the very best in medical
care for a hospital the size of ours.
Fieldcresters, in the hospital building fund campaign and in
other such movements, have been outstanding in their response.
It is believed they will take advantage of the present opportunity
and give the project their willing and generous support.
