Weeks, administra tor of the Newberry County Mem orial Hospital announced this week that the local hospital has received the Full Accreditation rating from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals as a result of an inspection made on March 21, 1956. Local hospital authorities are extremely proud of this accom plishment in that Newberry coun ty Memorial hospital is one of only 20 fully accredited hospitals in South Carolina and one of four fully accredited South. Carolina hospitals with 75 beds or less. Hospital Accreditation Explained Every community is interested in its hospitals and the quality of care it offers. Peoiple want t o know how well their hospital measures up to standards. What are these standards? Who estab lishes them ? Who checks that standards are maintained ? All this is done by an organi zation known as the Joint Com mission on Accreditation of hos pitals. It surveys hospitals in the United States and Canada to see if they are properly administered and if a sufficiently high grade of clinical medicine is practiced in them. The primary responsibility of a hospital is to provide good med ical and nursing care. One simple way exists for knowing whether the service it offers is adequate. If it ia approved by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, a hospital has volun tarily submitted to a survey of its facilities and an appraisal of the quality of care it offers. « The program of accreditation was begun in 1918 by the Ameri can College of Surgeons. It was transferred by the ACS in 1952 to the newly formed Joint Com mission, members of which are the American College of Physi cians, American College of Surg eons, American Hospital Associa tion, American Medical Associa tion, and the Canadian Medical Association. Each year it costs a half million dollars to keep com mission surveyors in the field, constantly checking and recheck ing hospitals. This means that when you en ter the Newberry County Mem orial hospital, which is accredited PTA Installs New Officers An enthusiastic audience enjoy ed the program presented by the sixth grade at the meeting of the Junior high PTA last Thursday evening. The 100th Psalm was read by Sally Lister, followed by the PTA prayer read by Mrs. Gladys Carlton, vice president and program chairman for the year. Mrs. Hubert Setzler presented a group of voluntary singers, train ed by Miss Juanita Hitt, who sang a group of folk songs learn ed in connection with their study of geography. The group was ac companied by members of the sixth grade band directed by Miss Lorraine Paris. The audience join ed in with the musicians on sev eral of the familiar numbers. Officers for 1956-57 were in stalled by Mrs. Philip Kelly, pres ident of the PTA District Four. They are: President, Mrs. Gladys Carlton; Vice president, Philip Kelly; Secretary, Mrs. Keister Willingham; Treasurer, J. W. Henderson. During the business session re ports for the year were given by the officers. Mrs. Herbert Spell thanked the school staff, the pu pils, the radio and press, room representatives, and the art com mittee, for their cooperation in helping with publicity. Philip Kelly announced that the final number of members for the year Ut. 239. Mrs. Kirby Lominack gave the annual financial report, and recommendations were made for the use of the balance in the treasury. Mrs. Carlton read the report of the president in the ab sence of Dr. R. E. Livingston, who was thanked for his excellent work in getting the immunization program initiated and carried out. Two excellent displays were shown in the science room and the library. “A Visit To Members of the United Nations” was held in the library, showing products from these nations, with Japan and Germany added because of our economic and political asso ciations with them. This exhibit was presented by Mrs. Setzler’s pupils. *The science exhibit was made by the pupils of Mrs. E. E. Epting and showed the work of the classes throughout the year. Mrs. Layton’s section of the sixth grade had the largest per centage of attendance. After the meeting a social hour was en joyed. you are assured of modern, up-to- date care. Newberry County Mem orial hospital is one of about 3500 institutions which have passed the requirements necessary for accreditation. Here is what the commission tries to assure you, if you are a patient in an accredited hospital: The building is clean and prop erly maintained. Every precaution has been taken against fire haz ards. There are adequate diagnos tic facilities, well supervised, in cluding a clinical laboratory and an x-ray department. The medical staff is organized to ensure that the professional work is constantly reviewed. If you have previously been a pat ient here, your medical records are complete and are available to your physician. And they must be kept up to date. If you are to undergo surgery you will receive excellent care be fore, during, and after the opera tion. Fire and explosion hazards have been eliminated in the oper ating room. Instruments and the dressings are sterile. If your phy sician has any question about his findings, he wilL discuss your case with another physician. A com petent person administers anes thetic. After the operation, tissue re moved in surgery is sent to that pathologist for examination, and your surgeon’s diagnosis is con firmed. ' This, in brief, is what accred itation means .to you. There are many other standards met by in stitutions like the Newberry County Memorial Hospital, which are approved by the Joint Com mission. They add up to a guar antee that your hospital is co stantly on guard for your health. .IS ■ I reenwood high school yearbook ' Ip <plllll!li Miss Mary Henry, center, gets the which is dedicated to her for “helping to make the lives of her pupils more valuable, rich in service and knowledge/ Miss Henry is a chemistry teacher at the high school.
