Anxiety
Dangerous
One minute you're envisioning
the future as bright and hopeful.
The next minute your thoughts
quickly turn to the reality of the
day's problems: children, work and
bills. Suddenly, for no apparent
reason, you begin to feel fearful of
your surroundings. Your heart be-
gins to beat faster and faster and
you become apprehensive. A doc-
tor later tells you that you have ex-
perienced an anxiety attack.
Anxiety attacks, also referred to
a panic attacks, happen frequently.
For many people around the world,
4 million to 10 million in the
United States alone, such attacks
strike with little warning and for no
specific reason.
Symptoms of an anxiety attack
may include any or all of the fol-
lowing: lightheadedness, dizziness,
rubbery legs, a racing, palpitating
heart, a choking feeling, a tingling
sensation and changes in mental
perception. Attacks usually last ten
to thirty minutes or, in rare in-
stances, for many hours.
Anxiety attacks occur more fre-
quently in women than in men, and
most often begin in the teens for
early twenties. Attacks are espe-
cially likely to occur when a per-

to provide the highest quality
health care available. Kings
Mountain Hospital has been ac-
credited since 1968.
Formed in 1951, the Joint
Commission on Accreditation of
Healthcare Organizations is a pri-
vate, not-for-profit, voluntary orga-
nization created by and composed
of health care professionals dedi-
cated to promoting and improving
the quality of health care.
Accreditation by Joint
Commission is voluntary on the
part of the hospital, however, being
accredited guarantees the commu-
nity that its hospital is maintaining
its commitment to excellence in
health care.
John E. Milton, director of the
Joint Commission's Hospital
Accreditation Program said, "The
Kings Mountain community should
be proud that Kings Mountain
Hospital is focusing on the most
challenging goal: to continually
raise quality to higher levels."
When Joint Commission survey-
ors survey a hospital, they check
each aspect of a department ac-
cording to health standards set by
the Joint Commission. Joint
Commission has hundreds of stan-
dards that cover everything from
the quality assurance program, to a
staff's credentials, to the safety of
the building.
"Above all, the national stan-
dards mandate that attention be a
top-level activity that permeates
the entire organization," said Mr.
Milton. “As an example, the quali-
ty assurance standards expect
health professionals to use indica-
tors of quality to monitor and eval-
uate all areas of clinical care."
The accreditation process is
comprised of three parts, written
proof of compliance with stan-
dards; verbal information concern-
ing the practice of standards; and
on-site observations by Joint
Commission surveyors. When
standards are being met to the sat-
isfaction of the surveyors, accredi-
tation is granted.
Kings Mountain Hospital
Administrator, Huitt Reep, spoke
of his pride in a staff whose mem-
bers asked what needed to be done
to be accredited by the Joint
Commission. "In addition, they ap-
preciated the educational aspect of
the survey and the opportunity to
interact with the team of survey-
ors."
Mr. Reep called the accredita-
tion, "proof of-an organization-
wide commitment to provide quali-
ty health care."
