Though only slightly
old, Pi<$ County's
$1,400,000-hospital is
than one
the point -whew, with the
patronage of the county's _
it will be on a sustaining basis.
That was one of the important
points brought out by Hospital Ad
ministrator Claude Ward in an ad
dress Monday night at the Farmville
Kiwanis Clu)>. The guest of Lewis
Allen, Ward reminded chib members
that the county has an investment of
more than $1,600,00 (induing
$135,000 expended for the Nurses’
Heme) and that it is an establish
ment second to none in physics! fa
cilities in this section of the South.
The construction costa of tSe hos
pital were #rided between the coun
ty .state and Federal governments,
with the county paying 39-1 per emit,
the state 37 $, and the Federal gov
ernment 88,88. The institution has
31 private beds, 48 semi-pifmte, and
61 Ward beds, a total «f 180 beds, In
additim, there are 80 baaainettds, and
10 eribs or bassinettes In reserve. The
institution has facilities for three
operations ht once—two minors aiid a
major—and is potentially capable of
having three minpr and two major
operations performed simultaneously..
He added that the tftdned personnel
required fergUeh would entail terrific
expenditures.
The history of the hospital, as given
the club by Ward, who is a former
president of the Greenville Kiwanis
club and Still is a member there, is
one of steady, constant progress. In
the first month of operation, the hos
pital averaged 64 patients daily. By
January, the' average had climbed to
79. Last month, it was 82. The ad
ministrator added that at 10 o’clock
Monday morning there were 116
patients in -the hospital. He added
that the institution needs an average
»f 96 to become self-sustaining.
During the first year of operation,
the average cost of keeping a patient
in the institution for one day Was
$16.59/ but the figure had droppe&to
$14.18 for December. He added that
the hospital operating expenses were
about $31,000 monthly. The hospital
is serving 400-460 meals each day
from its ultra modem-ltitchen, end
the cost for the year averaged hbout
w cents per meat.
The hospital haa a .staff of 108 per
sons, and a medical staff of seven
surgeons and 25 genera! practitioners
who are capable of handling1 any kind
of surgery or treatments except cer
tain brain operations, neurology and
Certain chest treatments.
In its first year of operation, the
hospital had 5,135 patients, treated
55,869, and performed 18,00Q labor
atory tests and 2,007 operations. 61V
babies were horn in the hospital dur
ing: the year. „ ■
Despite its fine record and contin
ued development, the hospital has not
yet reached the point whre it can be
of greatest service to the county, Pro
vision is mad for nurses’ training
which will he utilised When the hos
pital maintains an average of 100
beda for an .unbroken period^of 12
months. Internes will be trained and
taught when the hospital averages 85
bedsfor a 12 month period.
The hospital is under the direct
management of a board of trustees
appointed by the Board of Commis
sioners. Aleoc Allen of FarmviUf is
vice chairman of the trustees.
Ward was introduced by Program
Chairman Allen, who also bad as his
guest, Edwin Nall, engineer for the
Florence-llayo Nuway company.
